Members of the Lebanon City Council have voted to have Rick Bell replace former council woman, Kathy Warmath.
Council took the vote during a special city council meeting Thursday night.
Bell is the Lebanon city historian. He serves on the Planning Commission, and is a Cumberland University professor.
Warmath resigned last week after being arrested for allegedly showing up to the council meeting drunk.
However, she said she was impaired because of a bad reaction to prescribed medication.
She served as a member of the Lebanon City Council for more than 20-years.
