City Of Canton issued the following announcement on Jul 14.
STATUS REPORT: During last night's city council meeting, Acting Mayor Cindy Shanks was appointed to carry out the remainder of Nick Prestby's mayoral term. Mr. Prestby submitted his written resignation from the Office of Mayor on July 5. Through the passage of Resolution 2022-09, the city council accepted his resignation and declared the Office of Mayor vacant as of July 13. Pursuant to Minnesota Statute 412.02 2a, the balance of Mr. Prestby's unexpired term was to be filled through appointment by the city council. The council approved Resolution 2022-10 to appoint Ms. Shanks to serve the Office of Mayor until December 31, 2022. Her appointment created a vacancy on the city council, which will require a special election, to be held in conjunction with the General Election on November 8, to fill the vacated seat until December 31, 2024. In the interim, as stated in Resolution 2022-11, also approved last night, the city council will appoint a person to fill Ms. Shanks vacant seat until December 31, 2022. The council will accept letters of interest from qualified residents until 12 p.m. on August 1. The city council will determine its appointment during its August 10 meeting.
