Due to the February 24, 2025 passing of Councilman Edward Welsh III, the Village has an immediate vacancy for his council seat, term ending December 31, 2027. The Village Charter states:

Any vacancy in the Council or an office thereof shall be filled by a majority vote of the remaining members of Council for the unexpired term. If the vacancy is not filled within thirty days after it shall have occurred, the Mayor shall fill it by appointment.

If you are interested in joining Village Council or would like to hear more, please join us on Monday, March 10, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. in the Gates Mills Town Hall, Council Chambers for an informational meeting.
