Lakeshore Town Council is looking to fill the vacancy left on council when Paddy Byrne died earlier this year.
Earlier this week, it voted to appoint the runner-up in that ward in the last municipal election. That would be Michael Hoffman.
The town clerk will reach out to Hoffman to see if he's still interested in the job.
If Hoffman is interested and still meets the eligibility requirements, the appointment will be presented to councillors in a bylaw.
Once the bylaw is passed, Hoffman will be sworn in.
"This was a report and decision that no council ever wants to consider, and it made for a difficult deliberation," said Mayor Tracey Bailey. "We miss Councillor Byrne every day."
