Council voted in a 3-3 tie, but Mayor Kathy Chiaverotti broke it, stating the decision between Madden and attorney Deborah Tomczak was a tough call. Resident Larry Jansen was shut out in voting.
With only half of his term completed, Alderman Noah Fiedler will officially be an average citizen as of Friday. And his replacement was determined at Tuesday's Common Council meeting, where Eileen Madden, who served as alderman for the 7th District for six years before Fiedler, will again step into the seat for the remainder of the term.

Larry Jansen said while his brothers and his own son have served in the military, "it wasn't something I would do - I am a conscientious objector." However, his son Peter, a lance corporal in the Marines, will always have his support and prayers as he serves yet another deployment in Afghanistan. Peter left a couple of weeks ago, and will return in March 2012, leaving about nine months of his active duty requirement.
