Morristown to Fill Gsell's Empty Council Seat this Week

Kevin Gsell resigned from Morristown town council on July 8 and according to vacancy law, “the Morristown Democratic Committee needs to provide three names to the town council. They have to do that within 15 days. The council has 30 days from when the vacancy occurs to name somebody to the council from those three names,” said Matt Stechauner, Morristown Town Clerk.

“Kevin Gsell resigned his position because he bought a house in Morris Township,” said Stechauner.

On Tuesday last week, Mary Dougherty, chair of the Morristown Democratic Committee, sent Stechauner the three names:

• Justin Davis
• Michael Elms
• Rosary Lescohier

The meeting to pick one of these three is Monday at 7 p.m. at Morristown Town Hall.

The meeting will begin with a public hearing followed by council interview and questions of Nominees for filling vacancy on Morristown Town Council.

After the council deliberates, they’ll vote to fill Gsell’s vacancy. For more information about Gsell’s vacancy and the candidates, go to this Patch article.
