County Attorney Crook explained that the position of the Supervisor
from the Windsor Election District became vacant on July 3, 1994 when
Steve W. Edwards advised in writing that he moved his residence from the
Windsor Election District. Mr. Crook stated the statutes require that the
Board of Supervisors, within fifteen days, petition the Circuit Court Judge
to issue a writ of election and he has prepared a resolution for the Board's
consideration to do this. Mr. Crook stated the Board must also by statute
fill the vacancy within the next thirty days, otherwise, the Circuit Court
Judge will fill the vacancy by appointment. Mr. Crook stated if less than
120 days remain between the time the position becomes vacant and the next
election, the appointment would carry over until the end of the term of next
year; however, Mr. Edwards tendered his resignation more than 120 days
and thus the position will be filled this November by election to complete
the term which ends December 31, 1995 and there will have to be another
election in November of 1995 for afour-year term.
