Tiburon plans to make an interim appointment to fill the Town Council vacancy created by the resignation of Vice Mayor Noah Griffin and will hold a special election in August to let voters pick a permanent replacement.

The town is accepting applications through Feb. 24 and expects to fill the interim seat by March 28, with the special election set for Aug. 29.

Whoever wins that race would serve the remainder of Griffin’s term, through November 2024.
