Press release from the City of St. Louis Park:

September 3, 2020

Anne Mavity, Ward 2 councilmember for the City of St. Louis Park, has announced her resignation from the city council effective Oct. 31, 2020, due to a planned move from St. Louis Park. Councilmember Mavity has served on the city council since 2010.

“As a St. Louis Park resident for the past 23 years, I have seen this community constantly strive to continue its record of excellence,” said Mavity. “I have been honored to be part of its vision and growth and have enormous gratitude for the privilege of serving the City of St. Louis Park for the past 11 years.”

At its Sept. 8, 2020, meeting, the St. Louis Park City Council will formally accept Councilmember Mavity’s resignation and consider a motion to declare a vacancy of the ward 2 city council seat effective Oct. 31, 2020. Given the timing of the resignation, the city council must appoint a person to the seat for the remainder of the term, which ends Jan. 3, 2022. The council may either appoint someone to the seat or undertake an application process, then interview applicants and appoint. The appointment process will be discussed at a future city council meeting.
