Wawa Municipal Council will look to fill the mayor's seat in a special meeting tonight.
A total off four meetings are set to be held back-to-back, including a special meeting including resolutions to accept the resignation of Mayor Ron Rody - who announced his departure last month - as well as approve a process for selecting someone to serve out the remaining less than a year of the term, then the actual selection, followed by a resolution to approve a process to fill a vacant councillor seat, suggesting Council will choose a new mayor from the current councillors, then fill that seat from the public in some way - they would have 60 days after declaring the seat vacant to appoint someone or call a by-election less than a year before next fall's election, same with the current requirements faced for addressing the vacant mayoral seat.
Also being held tonight: a Committee of Adjustment meeting relating to an application for consent; a Corporate Planning Committee meeting including a report on predator control and a request for sidewalk snow removal for St. Augustine French Immersion; and a regular meeting that includes resolutions to again authorize discharge of firearms for predator control and declare plots on Brock Avenue as surplus land.
The meetings start at 6:30 tonight - they're open to the public but proof of full COVID-19 vaccination is required, they'll also be broadcast through the Municipality's YouTube channel.
