Kalispell City Council could address vacancy issue created by election snafu

Municipal officials have prepared resolutions ahead of Monday’s Kalispell City Council meeting that could see it declare two of its seats vacant and then immediately move to appoint replacements.

City Manager Doug Russell stressed in a memo to Council that the resolutions were predicated on further clarification on how to proceed after a Flathead County District Court judge annulled the elections of two of the four city councilor seats on the November ballot. 

Council will meet March 4 in City Hall, 201 First Ave. E., at 7 p.m. For more information on how to attend or participate, including remotely, visit: www.kalispell.com/agendacenter.
