Sequim City Council member Troy Tenneson notified the City on August 21 that he was resigning from his City Council position effective immediately because of a family emergency.
Tenneson was elected to the City Council in 2019 and has served since January 1, 2020.
“This came as a shock. Troy is born and raised in the City of Sequim. He is bright, well educated, and walks the talk. You can take his word to the bank. We are going to miss the input on the City Council of a young adult in our community who can shed light from the perspective of a professional younger person,” said Sequim Mayor William Armacost.
“We wish Troy all the best and will do whatever we can to support him as a Council and City.”
The vacant City Council position will be filled by appointment of the City Council. Applicants must be registered voters of the City of Sequim at the time of applying for candidacy, have a one-year continuous period of residence in the City of Sequim preceding his or her election to the Council, and hold no other public office or employment under the city government. Interviews for the vacant position will be conducted by the City Council at a regularly scheduled or a special meeting.
Further details concerning the position and the recruitment process will be released at a later date.
