Meaford is calling for nominees to fill a vacant seat on council. Council approved taking applications to fill the seat during a meeting on Monday and comes after council declared the seat vacant earlier this month following Steven Bartley resigning from the role as his family plans to move to Chatsworth, outside the boundaries of Meaford. Council was presented three options to fill Bartley’s seat, including appointing following calling for nominees, appointing a candidate who ran in the previous election, and holding a by-election. Council will then vote on the candidate to sit in for the rest of the term of council. Mayor Ross Kentner adds this method also presents an opportunity for those who ran in the previous election to try again.
