**Usually, the council positions are offset. All being 4-year positions, 2 would be up for election this year and then the 3rd would be up for election in 2026 with the clerk position. However, the previous person who held the position moved out of the city during their term. We then took applications and appointed someone to fill the position temporarily instead of bearing the costs of an election for just one position. The result is that now at this general election this year we need to elect to fill that position for its remaining 2 years. In 2026 this position would be up for election again but for 4 years.
