For the second time in two months, Charleroi Council has been tasked with filling another vacant seat in council chambers after the abrupt resignation of Cathy Diess on Wednesday, effective immediately.
A reason for her resignation was not disclosed. Diess, who ran unsuccessfully for a seat on council in November 2021, was appointed to fill a vacancy left by Frank Paterra in January. Paterra resigned from his spot due to health concerns, but was recently reappointed last month to fill a vacancy left by former councilwoman Jeannine Motycki who stepped down in July. He was also the only eligible applicant to submit a letter of interest for that seat.
