With the resignation of Monrovia City Councilman Clarence Shaw, fill-in Councilmember Larry Spicer's service with the city is also at an end, according to City Manager Laurie Lile.
She writes - for an agenda item at a special meeting (this Thursday at 7:30 p.m. - http://goo.gl/9zY9a ) - that "the City Council's only practical option for action to fill the vacancy is to appoint a replacement candidate for the remaining few weeks of Councilmember Shaw's existing term." http://goo.gl/4nEaH
Also at the meeting, the Council will decide whether to hold an election or cancel it since there are the same number of candidates as there are offices.
Comment: I suppose the council could, technically, appoint someone other than Spicer to serve the remainder of Shaw's term, though, if I understand, Spicer would be right back on the council since there is nobody running against him. Should be interesting.
