Mason City prepares for a potential special election to fill First Ward City Council seat
MASON CITY, Iowa — Mayor-elect, John Lee, will assume office on Thursday, Jan. 1, and he says one of his first priorities will be addressing his previous position as the city council representative for the Mason City's first ward.
Lee says that during his first city council meeting as mayor on January 6, the council will vote on whether to hold a special election to fill the seat.
Both Lee and City Administrator Aaron Burnett, have expressed a preference for the decision to be made through an election, but acknowledged other options.
"We'll see how many people are interested, but that's something the city council will have to decide for themselves," Lee said. "They could appoint, if people came forward or they can call for re-election."
