Monterey Alderman Starlett Wessels resigned for the board Monday night after missing a third meeting.
Mayor JJ Reels read a statement from Wessels saying she could no longer attend.
The aldermen debated whether Alderman Charles Looper, who is from the same ward, could nominate someone for the position. Looper said he wanted to nominate someone for the Ward 4 position Monday night and have it voted on.
Reels said he was not ready to accept any nominations, even if Looper said it was the way they’ve always done things.
Reels said waiting to accept any nominations for the position is the proper procedure and Looper should not be on the board if he is not willing to follow the proper procedures.
No action was taken on filling the vacant seat Monday night.
