The Council chose to fill the vacant seat through a formal candidate application and interview process rather than appointing someone immediately or proceeding directly to an election. Town staff will notify the community and prepare candidate interviews. The Council also discussed potential on-campus student and faculty housing, including funding and partnership options, but took no final action; the topic will return for further discussion.
