The Colorado Springs City Council has to find someone else to fill the vacant spot, after a tie vote last night on the appointment of Stephannie Fortune. The council voted four-to-four on her appointment, and that tie vote equals a failure to approve. As a result, the council must find someone else to fill the seat which opened up after Richard Skorman resigned last year. The council has until January 30, to appoint someone to Skorman’s seat. Council members scheduled a special meeting for Friday afternoon to review the list of possible candidates that was compiled last month. Whoever is selected will only fill a partial term on the city council, until the next election in 2023.
