Clermont may have little wiggle room to conduct town business between Jan. 1 and March 1, when the North Hall County town holds a special election to fill two council seats. The council has five seats but just four members currently, and it loses one of the four, John Brady, after his four-year term ends Dec. 31. Under the town’s charter, revised earlier this year by the General Assembly, the council needs at least three members to hold a meeting, let alone vote.
