Hill represented District 5; she’s been suspected from her office while she faces a criminal investigation in connection with seven felony charges, including impersonation and mortgage fraud.

During the meeting, the board is expected to decide on budget, dates, and polling locations for the 21,000 voters who represent District 5.

So far, there is not an official timeline just yet.
