Sartell City Council member Amy Braig-Lindstrom remains on the city council despite the fact she is no longer a full-time resident of the city.
Braig-Lindstrom and her husband, Matt, are in the process of selling their Sartell home as they make a move to their new home in St. Joseph.
Sartell City Attorney Stan Weinberger has stated even if Braig-Lindstrom’s home in Sartell is not sold, it doesn’t matter because if a council member is no longer an inhabitant of the city she represents on the council, the council must choose someone to fill her position.
However, Braig-Lindstrom informed Weinberger and the Newsleader that she has not fully moved to her home in St. Joseph yet and she and members of her family still spend time in the Sartell home in the Celebration neighborhood. Thus, according to Braig-Lindstrom, she has not become a permanent St. Joseph resident yet and intends to serve out her term on the council through this year or until she moves permanently to the St. Joseph home. The Nov. 8 election will determine who will occupy that seat.
