Jonathan Swarek was the sole applicant for the positions, meaning he was sworn in after the closing of applications and the cancellation of the election.
How we got here
Place 6 council member Chesley Muenchow in November resigned from City Council due to an out-of-city move, according to an announcement by Mayor Greg Maxton on Nov. 7.
Due to the council seat having a little over a year before expiring, City Council in December called for a special election on Feb. 25.
Applications were open through Dec. 26, and Swarek was the only applicant. Swarek will serve the remaining term, which is scheduled to be up for election in May 2026.
