The Cleveland City Council has appointed former council member Annie Sutton, who was a candidate in this year’s municipal election, to fill the vacant Ward 2 council seat.
Sutton qualified for the November election, but that process was canceled because only one candidate qualified for each position that was open.
Cleveland Mayor Josh Turner said Sutton will serve in this appointed position until the end of December, and at the first of January, she will begin a full four-year term.
“We will get with Ms. Sutton to schedule her swearing-in with Judge Baker. Hope to do that at the next council meeting so she will be ready to go,” he said.
During their meeting Monday night, the council also approved the appointment of Kevin Lin to the City’s Downtown Development Board.
