BACKGROUND
On December 17, 2019, Ward 2 Councilmember Gregory Mills was sworn in as Mayor to fill a vacancy, which created a vacancy in Ward 2. The City of Brighton Charter, Section 4,8 (D)(3) allows for City Council to call for a Special Election to fill the vacated seat for the remainder of the unexpired term. This Resolution would call for the Special Election on April 28, 2020 and appoint the City Clerk as the Designated Election Official to address such other issues associated with the special election such as publishing the notice of election, mailing the ballots, appointing election judges, and designating the location of the election.
