Impact analysis
There’s no immediate big-dollar impact, but a special election could cost the city money and the leadership shakeup may delay budget and spending decisions.
Other council members and prospective candidates get a chance to move into leadership or run for the open seat.
Residents in Tyner’s district lose their longtime representative, and the city loses some continuity in council leadership.
