The residency of a newly elected Northport Village Council trustee has been called into question by village officials and could be addressed as soon as Thursday, the council’s next regular meeting.
With three village trustee seats vacant and open to fill, Edwin Blaise Dean, who was just sworn in last week, was one of three write-in candidates on the ballot for the Nov. 5 General Election.
According to Leelanau County’s certified election results, Dean won his seat with 10 votes, along with Joe Thomas Ruble, who received 17 votes. The third write-in, Alexis Jeanne Wittman, received only six votes. Incumbent village council trustee Susan Ager was the only candidate to run for reelection and whose name was on the ballot.
