DAPHNE — Having announced plans to resign from her position by the end of October, Councilwoman Regina Landry participated in her last official council meeting Monday.

Landry said she is getting married and moving to Fairhope — but that doesn’t mean she hasn’t enjoyed her civic duties.

“It’s really changed my life and it’s been an awesome experience,” Landry said at Monday’s City Council meeting.

“We appreciate all you’ve done,” Council President Greg Burnam said.

“One day you can tell your children and grandchildren how you used to run the city of Daphne,” he added, and gave Landry her picture that hung in City Hall.

The City Council will begin looking for a new representative for District 6, which incl-udes the eastern portion of Lake Forest and small sections across from Daphne High School, according to city Clerk David Cohen.

On Nov. 5, the council will announce that the position is vacant and that they are seeking a replacement, Cohen said.

The council will have 60 days to appoint a new member, Cohen said.

At Thursday’s City Council work session, Cohen told council members to think about a potential replacement with a board member on one of the city’s committees.

“It’s someone that’s already interested in the city,” Cohen said.

Candidates would be interviewed by the council, Burnam said during last week’s work session.

“They could choose to not fill the position,” Cohen said.

“If they don’t do that within time, the governor will have 90 days to appoint someone,” he said.

“And if that were not to occur, then the council would call for a special election,” Cohen said.

This would be tricky because of the timeline with the general election in 2008, Cohen said.

There could be a judge’s ruling to not fill the position until the 2008 general election, Cohen said.

Until a new representative is found, the council will act with only six members, Cohen said.

“If something (a vote) comes up 3-3, the vote fails because you need a majority,” Cohen said.

To be on the City Council, a candidate must be a legal resident, be 18 years of age or older and have lived within that district for three months, according to Cohen.
