Columbia’s city council is expected to vote this evening to call an April special election for the recall of first ward city councilman Nick Knoth.
The Columbia city council’s two-page report says the recall petition circulated by resident Pamela Cooper has a sufficient number of signatures from registered voters in the first ward. That means the recall election will take place on April 2, which is a municipal election day. There are two potential outcomes of the recall election, according to the council packet. If a majority of voters cast ballots against the recall, Councilman Knoth remains in office. If a majority of voters cast ballots for the recall, there will be a temporary vacancy in the office.
Tonight’s council meeting begins at 7 at city hall.
