Hunke to finish the remainder of Council Member Brausen’s term. Brian Hunke will formally

two-year Council term. The City Charter states that the City Council is required to appoint an
individual to complete the unexpired term on the City Council until the next election. There are
less than two years remaining in the term so a special election is not required.
