Second Bettendorf alderman submits resignation; two seats will likely be on special July 1 ballot

A second alderman has resigned from the Bettendorf City Council in less than two months.

Alderman At-Large Lisa Brown submitted her letter of resignation May 6.

A special meeting of the council has been called for Tuesday (5/13) to accept the resignation and consider a resolution asking the Scott County Auditor to add the vacancy to the city's July 1 special election, which had already been scheduled to fill the 5th Ward alderman vacancy created by the resignation of James Stewart March 10.

Two candidates, Patty Herzberg and Scott Webster, have announced their intention to seek the 5th Ward vacancy.

Brown won re-election to a 4-year term in 2011.
