The council shall fill by appointment for the unexpired term any vacancy that may occur for whatever reason. If, after two (2) rounds of voting, there are two (2) candidates tied with the same number of votes, then the tie shall be broken by playing the deuce of clubs card game. Whichever candidate draws the deuce of clubs is determined to be the winner and shall be appointed to fill the unexpired term of the vacancy. If the candidates are not present at the meeting in which the tie votes occur, they shall be invited to attend a subsequent regular meeting of the council to play the card game. (Ord. No. 2009-21, § 1, 12-1-09. 1976 Code § 2-1-4)
