| Description | The Aurora City Council’s Ward 2 vacancy saga came to an end Thursday when the council continued its stalemate voting until it reached the deadline for filling the vacancy.
By failing to reach consensus by Thursday at midnight, the council violated the city charter, which demands vacancies be filled by majority vote within 45 days of the previous member’s departure.
The council will no longer attempt to fill the vacancy, leaving the seat empty until a new council member is voted in during the November election.
This comes after more than 150 rounds of votes resulted in the same 5-5 tie over the course of a month, with half of the council voting to appoint Democratic candidate Ryan Ross and the other half voting for Republican candidate Steve Sundberg. |
