View Comments Detroit  The City Council on Tuesday decided it won t fill the seat vacated by indicted member Gabe Leland. Detroit s now eight-member council unanimously agreed it will leave Leland s District 7 seat open until city voters cast ballots in November.  The decision caps a two-week debate over how and when to proceed with appointing a new member to finish out Leland s unexpired term. The councilman resigned earlier this month after pleading guilty in state court to misconduct in office charges.  After an hour of discussion Tuesday, efforts to adopt a nominated process failed. Ultimately, District 3 Councilman Scott Benson proposed a motion to appoint the certified winner of the Nov. 2 general election. The winner will immediately take office, finishing Leland s term, which ends Dec. 31, 2021. The new member will then assume office Jan. 1, 2022, for the new, four-year term, the council decided.
