She said Section 20 of the City Charter and Chapter 141 of <br />the Election Code allowed for City Council to fill the vacant seat by one of two options. Ms. <br />Ellis said one option was to nominate and appoint a qualified person residing in District Two to <br />fill the vacant position; and the other option was to direct staff to announce the vacancy, accept <br />applications, interview applicants at a special meeting and then make an appointment. <br />City Council discussed the two options, and favored filling the vacant seat by taking <br />applications and conducting interviews. It was a consensus to have a deadline for applications <br />
