With Mark Kohls submitting his resignation as Town Board Supervisor there is a town board supervisor opening.

What happens with the open Town of Wheaton Town Board Supervisor position?

The position of Town Board Supervisor previously held by Mark Kohls will be filled per State Statute 17.25:

17.25 Vacancies in town offices; how filled. Vacancies in town offices shall be filled as follows:

(1)(a)  In the town board, by the remaining supervisors and the town clerk, except when a special election is authorized under subd. 2, and par. (d) or as provided in s.9.10….

Section 9.10 applies to recalled officers and is not applicable. Subdivision 2 applies to multiple vacancies and (1)(d) references a special election to fill the seat at the discretion of the board. Neither of these provisions will apply.

Therefore, an elector of the Town of Wheaton will be appointed and take the oath of office and the seat at the earliest the next Town Board meeting. The person appointed to fill this vacancy shall hold office for the remainder of the unexpired term which will be April 2027.
