Chelan City Council member Terry Sanders will step down Tuesday after moving outside city limits, triggering a search for a replacement.

Sanders' departure creates a vacancy on the council, requiring the city to seek a replacement. The city has not yet announced a timeline for filling the position or details about the selection process.

The city council serves as Chelan's governing body, making decisions on local policies, budgets, and development. Sanders' exit means residents will need to wait for a new council member to address ongoing issues.
