The Council discussed the methods available which would include a special election or making an appointment. Councilor Ramler stated his concern that the current members of the Council had to file for office and campaign to win an election and the open seat could just be filled by someone filling out an application. The remaining Council members were in favor of advertising for the open seat and making an appointment. Since there was not consensus, the Council directed Hetland to research the costs for a special election and agreed that each Council member would come back to the next meeting with their preferred method on how to proceed. They also indicated that if anyone is interested in filling the vacant seat that they should contact a current Council member. Mayor Thelen requested permission from the Council to have an open mic session at the start of each Council meeting and to put information on the website, both were agreed to be okay.
