Anderson's seat on the city council is set to expire in December of 2026.

The St. Cloud City Council has 30 days to appoint a successor.  While the city charter does not have a specific procedure to fill a vacancy, the council plans to use previous experiences.

The council will accept applications for the next 7 days.  Residents interested in the council seat do have to live in Ward 3.

The council has regularly scheduled meetings on November 25th, December 2nd, and December 16th, and a special meeting (if necessary) on December 9th, for them to select the new council member.
