Selma’s Ward 1 will be getting a new city councilperson after the Selma City Council June 23 declined to reinstate Troy Harvill to the city council. The vote was required because Harvill has not attended council meetings since he was sworn in for his second term in November 2025.
City Attorney Graham Mosley told the city council that under state law a city councilperson is automatically removed from office if they don’t attend meetings for an extended period. The city council can reinstate the absent councilperson for a 90-day term.
Todd and Cindy talk about this in this segment of the Black Belt Newscast.
