Taxpayers Won't Foot Bill to Fill Vacated City Council Seat
The Johns Creek Post 6 will be filled in the spring 2014 in conjunction with the general elections, thus avoiding the estimated $200,000 to fill the empty City Council seat vacated by former City Council member Bev Miller.
There is good news for Johns Creek taxpayers - there will be no cost to fill the vacant Post 6 city council seat.
Johns Creek City Attorney Bill Riley announced at the Oct. 8 City Council Work Session that the election to fill Post 6, left vacant when former City Council Member Bev Miller resigned to run for Mayor in the Nov. 5 municipal elections, will be held in conjunction with next spring’s General Elections.
“Soon after the state legislature convenes this coming January,” Riley said, “the legislators will select a date for the General Elections, and we will then have our election to fill this seat occur at the same time.”
