(KLZA)-- Falls City Third Ward Council member Shawn Fouraker submitted a letter of resignation from the City Council on June 3rd.

On Friday, June 6, Fouraker submitted written notice he wished to rescind his resignation from the Council. Following what he called further reflection and in response from constituents and colleagues.

Under Falls City Municipal Code, when a City Council member resigns, the resignation must be acknowledged and the office declared vacant by the City Council during a regular or special meeting. Following action by the City Council, the City is required to provide public notice of the vacancy, identifying the vacant office and the unexpired term.

According to a report from City Administrator Anthony Nussbaum, because the rescission was received prior to any formal reading at a Council meeting and a formal declaration of vacancy did not occur, Fouraker remains in office.

Fouraker said in his letter requesting his resignation be considered null and void, and he be reinstated to his current position, that he remains committed to advancing the goals and priorities of the city and believes his continued service is in the best interest of constituents.
