The Summerville City Council will hold a called meeting this evening at Summerville City Hall.  The main purpose of the meeting is to call for a special election to fill the unexpired term of City Councilman David Ford who passed away earlier this month.

Mr. Ford had served as a Summerville City Councilman since 2011 and was a retired Summerville Firefighter.

At the last regular city council meeting, held earlier this month, Summerville City Attorney Albert Palmour said that the date of the election would be May 21st, which would coincide with the May General Primary Election being held the same day.

Tonight’s meeting will solidify that date with a resolution from the council.  Also, Mayor Harry Harvey is expected to read and publish a proclamation honoring Councilman Ford for his years of service to the citizens of Summerville.
