On Sept. 9, council held interviews for three candidates and selected Kyle Mickelsen as the new council member.
How we got here
Scott announced his resignation in July, citing the reason for leaving was due to moving to a new home outside of district limits, which would require resignation to be in line with the city charter.
Scott has served on City Council for six years, addressing challenges such as COVID-19, project concerns and other issues as Boerne has grown.
“I’m thankful for all the work that the council and I have done,” Scott said. “I’m sad that I’m leaving but happy that I’m leaving it in good hands of a good council.”
Sept. 9 marked Scott’s last City Council meeting, where council entered an executive session and interviewed three candidates before making a final decision on Mickelsen filling the vacancy.
Mickelsen told Community Impact his family has been in Boerne for 19 years. After serving on the City Charter Review Committee, he decided to apply for a position on City Council to be more involved in the community.
“It is important to help manage growth while maintaining Boerne’s unique charm,” he said.
Mickelsen will serve on council until the end of the unexpired term, set to end in May 2026. In May, residents will be able to vote for the council seat.
Mickelsen will take the oath of office during the Sept. 23 meeting.
