| Description | A last-ditch effort to cure the Aurora City Council of its charter violation for failing to appoint a Ward II council member earlier this year failed on a tie-vote Monday evening.
At-large member Dave Gruber proposed appointing Steve Sundberg, who is currently winning the Ward II race, to the seat for the remaining days of former member Nicole Johnston’s term.
Sundberg currently leads candidate Bryan Lindstrom by about 1,200 votes.
Sundberg was the top choice of conservative members for the appointment over the summer. Council members voted more than 150 times between Sundberg and Ryan Ross, the college administrator who had been endorsed by Johnston and was favored by progressive council members, before accepting the impasse and agreeing to violate city charter rules that dictated a member should be appointed within 45 days of the vacancy.
The proposal from Gruber said that if Sundberg won the election, which will be certified on Nov. 19, he would assume the vacancy, giving him one official meeting as an appointee. |
