ST. JOSEPH – The St. Joseph City Council has accepted the resignation of council member Anne Buckvold, and finalized a plan for filling her seat.
At a special meeting Tuesday evening, the council voted against holding a Special Election, opting instead to take applications from members of the community for the vacant seat.
Applications will be accepted through Friday, Feb. 12. The council will interview candidates on Feb. 18 and whittle the pool down to three candidates before holding a final vote.
The goal is to appoint a new council member before March 1.
Buckvold was appointed to the St. Joseph City Council via the same process in May of 2018. She was elected to the office in November of that year.

Buckvold submitted her resignation Thursday to the St. Joseph council and city officials.

“It’s definitely been an emotional decision and I didn’t want to have to do it,” Buckvold said. “It’s been on my mind for the last month or two. If I’m going to do it, I want to do it well, and I just can’t do it.”
Buckvold say she plans to devote time attending to personal matters and growing her visual art business, Pencil House Studio. And, she hasn’t ruled out a run for public office in the future.
