This was followed by the resignation of the chief financial officer and chief administrative officer.
Sayward was briefly left with a governance vacuum during the pandemic until Coun. Bill Ives was voted by council members as the acting mayor towards the end of April.
However Ives had to step down after a vote of no confidence was passed against him in June.
Currently, Coun. Norm Kirschner is serving as the acting mayor of Sayward.
