Place 2 DeSoto City Council member Kay Brown-Patrick has turned in her resignation. She was first elected to the Council in 2018.
The DeSoto City Council held a special meeting earlier this month to discuss an allegation in executive session that Brown-Patrick was not currently living in her Council district as required by the city charter.
The Council will appoint someone to fill out the remainder of her term, which is set to expire in a few months. Place 2 and Place 4 on the DeSoto City Council will be on the ballot as part of the May 6th municipal election.
"As we work to appoint someone to fill the short remainder of the term for Place 2, it will be important to me that it is someone who commits to not run for the permanent seat in May," said DeSoto Mayor Rachel Proctor. "The voters will have their opportunity to elect who ultimately sits in that seat."
