Council Discussion and Recommendation Benke stated that this appointment would fill the remaining four years of Gregori's term. The 1999 General Election ballot would contain two four year Councilmember terms, and a Special Election to serve the remaining two years of Gregori's term, Candidates will need to decide which term to file for election, The individual elected to the two-year term would take office immediately after the vote is certified, individuals elected to the four year terms would take office January 1, 2000, Because there are currently four Councilmembers, there is potential for a 2/2 vote. In the event of a 2/2 vote, the Mayor would cast a second vote or tie breaker, Benke acknowledged this has been a very difficult decision and noted that each candidate is eminently qualified, and Council would feel comfortable and confident working with either candidate, Council recommended the appointment of Ann Hoffman to the vacant Councilmember position, Benke noted Hoffman's extensive seven year involvement in various Municipal Advisory Commissions.
