Jennifer:
You are correct! Since the city holds nonpartisan elections, the seating City Council members will accept applications to fill the position Jim is leaving. They will then select a replacement, who will have to run for a full term (if they so choose) in the next city election. If we held partisan elections it would play out a little different with the Council still making the final selection. Michael Michael W.

That was in January 2005 and Ed was elected in the May 2005 election. I would guess that a similar process is going to happen. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com <mailto:AsburyPark%40yahoogroups.com> , "justifiedright" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > What happends next?
