Kingsville council is expected to decide how to fill a vacancy at its next meeting.

Councillor Sandy McIntyre has announced she is stepping down.

McIntyre, in her second term, put on Facebook that she regrets she is no longer able to fully focus on her duties because of family health.

Mayor Nelson Santos tells CTV Windsor her husband has cancer.

Administration is drafting a report on council's options. They include giving the person who had the next most votes in the last election the seat, appointing an individual, or holding a by-election.

However, the next municipal general election is a little over a year away, scheduled for Oct. 22, 2018.
