Mayor Joel Fritzler announced his resignation today effective Feb. 3, to take a position at Northern Arizona State University. There will be a special session of city council on Jan 21 at which the council will select an acting Mayor to serve out the remaining 15 months of his term. Council members will elect one of their own to serve as acting mayor, then, according to the way I read the code, the new acting mayor will select, with advice and consent from the other council members, their replacement on the council.
So, if you are interested in service on the council, without the hassle of running for the seat, now is the time to start putting your name forward to the current council members. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing Don Monty serve as acting mayor, as he has demonstrated an extensive understanding of the minutiae of city government during his time in office.

I understood the position that Joel is taking to be Northern Arizona University which would make more sense than moving to another university in Illinois given our pension problems.
