A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING RESIGNATION, DECLARING A VACANCY ON
THE CITY COUNCIL AND APPOINTING A PERSON TO FILL THE VACANCY
WHEREAS, on September 6, 2011, Jacalyn Stone was appointed to the Spring Park City
Council to fill the vacancy on the Council created by the resignation of Tom Scanlon and to serve
until a special election was held at the next regular city election in November, 2012 and a new
Council member was elected and qualified to fill the vacancy for the remainder of the unexpired
term of Council member Scanlon; and
WHEREAS, a special election was held on November 6, 2012 at which John Ericson was elected
to fill the remainder of the unexpired term of Council member Scanlon; and
WHEREAS, John Ericson died prior to the special election and, therefore, did not qualify for
office; and
WHEREAS, the City of Spring Park City Council has received the written resignation of Jacalyn
Stone as a member of the City Council, effective on January 7, 2013, thereby creating a new
vacancy on the Council; and
• WHEREAS, the new Council vacancy has occurred when fewer than two years remain in the
unexpired term of Council member Scanlon so that a special election is not required and the City
Council may appoint someone to fill the vacancy for the remainder of his unexpired term; and
WHEREAS, in anticipation of the new vacancy, the Spring Park City Council solicited
applications of interested persons to fill the new vacancy and received one application from a
well qualified candidate for the position.

City Council effective on January 7, 2013 and declares that a vacancy exists on the City
