A seat around the council horseshoe could sit vacant for the next month if a request from Carl Killen is approved Monday night.
Killen is asking to step aside from the business of council as he flys the flag for the Conservative Party in the riding of Saint John Harbour.
Killen tells CHSJ News, this is in order to devote himself to the campaign.
Killen says he is not totally walking away from his council duties and will still be available to all his constituents on any issue.
Killen is also donating his council salary for the writ period to charity.
If approved by council, Killen will miss three council meetings.
