Neosho City Council agrees to forward two finalists to fill vacancy

The Neosho City Council discussed applicants to fill a vacant council seat and reached a consensus to forward two finalists—Brett and Rebecca—for formal nomination and approval at the next council meeting. The discussion was held under new business; staff reminded the council that a formal appointment must be made by resolution at a subsequent meeting.

The staff member clarified the process, saying the charter requires the appointment be approved by resolution, so "you can always make those nominations at the next meeting and vote on them right before the resolution is done." Council members agreed it would be appropriate to bring both Brett and Rebecca forward for nominations so the full council could decide at the next meeting.
