Seems to be the closest case to a member simply resigning with the
slacker regulation.

Seems to be the best - and least complicated - version to me.
4. The position stays empty until the next election (As long the
number of council members doesn't drop below a certain number,
let's say 5.
Just adding this as it may be an option, too.
