Whenever the office of a member of Council becomes vacant for any reason, the vacancy shall be filled by a majority vote of the then remaining members of Council. If the vacancy is not filled by Council within thirty (30) days of its occurrence, the Mayor shall fill the vacancy by appointment.
Such person shall serve through December 31 following the next regular municipal election, provided, however, that the term of a member shall not be lengthened by their resignation and subsequent appointment. At such election a successor shall be elected to serve for the unexpired term, if any remains, for a full term commencing January 1 next following his election.
