DOVER – The City Council voted 6-2 to accept the resignation of former Ward 4 City Councilor Joshua Manley and to replace him through a council appointment process.
City Councilors Fergus Cullen and John O Connor voted against the motion, after Cullen suggested a special election was needed to replace Manley.
Manley, who was serving his first term, submitted his resignation letter to the council after Foster’s Daily Democrat ran a story reporting that he had not attended a council meeting since Sept. 9.
City Manager Mike Joyal said the city charter dictates that the council replace Manley by appointment rather than special election because there’s less than a year left in his term.

Having an outdoor feature to celebrate the holidays with during the COVID-19 pandemic is “incredibly important” for Dover residents, Spires said.
“It gives them a sense of community, it gives them a sense of pride for what we do as people,” he said during an interview Tuesday.
