Eddyville City Council has filled the mayoral vacancy.

Eddyville’s City Council has chosen someone to fill the vacant mayoral seat following her recent, unexpected death.

Nancy Slaton died last week at a conference in Lexington.

The City Council voted unanimously this week to have councilman John Choat fill her vacancy. He will serve in the seat until December 31.

The person who is elected in the November election will take the seat at the end of that term.
