Good morning, Alpharetta.
Alpharetta City Council will leave former Councilman Brian Will’s Post 2 seat vacant until the November general election — the decision avoids voter confusion and saves over $300,000, Mayor Jim Gilvin said.
Will resigned on June 3 to run for the seat left open by former state Sen. Brandon Beach.
