IDAHO FALLS Mayor Rebecca Casper has named former School District 91 Trustee Lisa Burtenshaw as the replacement to fill previous City Councilwoman Shelly Smede’s vacant City Council position.
Smede announced her resignation at the March 11, 2021 City Council meeting, to become effective at the end of the month. Casper announced the next day that she would accept letters of intent from residents interested in filling the seat, with the intent of naming Smede’s replacement prior to the Idaho Falls City Council meeting scheduled for Thursday, April 8.
According to Idaho law, when a vacancy occurs on the City Council, that vacancy is filled by an appointment of the Mayor. That appointment is then ratified by the City Council.
