Jefferson County will certify the 2019 election no later than November 27. During the January 9, 2020 Council meeting, the City will recognize outgoing council members and swear in incoming elected officials. At this meeting, Laura Weinberg will vacate her current council seat in Ward 4. This vacancy will then be filled at a special election with a date yet to be determined.
