Here we go again.

Voters in Davidson will be heading to the polls this fall to elect a new town councillor for the second time since the general municipal election last October.

Logan Tennent announced his resignation as a town councillor effective Sept. 20 at the monthly council meeting last Tuesday. Tennent said he chose to resign from council because he wants to apply for the vacant Davidson town foreman position.

“I very much enjoyed my time on council and I’m very grateful for the support from the taxpayers, especially the 242 who voted for me,” said Tennent. “This foreman opportunity is something that I can’t (pass up). I have to apply for this job just because it is the best (opportunity) for me and for my growing family. If council is something I have to resign from in order to do that, that is something I am willing to do.”

No date has been set for the call for nominations for a councillor. If more than one person applies for the position, a byelection would be held. A date for the byelection has also not been set.

To run for the vacant councillor position, a candidate has to have lived in Davidson for at least three months and in Saskatchewan for six months before the byelection date. A candidate must also be 18 years of age and a Canadian citizen.

To nominate a candidate, a person must own land in town, but doesn’t actually have to live here. Five electors must sign the nomination form.

Clayton Schneider, mayor of Davidson, said Tennent would be “missed” around the table as he was a productive councillor, but his departure should not interfere with current town business.

“Everything will go on as usual,” said Schneider. “There will be a byelection and we’ll see who applies.”
