A Commissioner vacancy on the KDH Board of Commissioners was created by the death of sitting Commissioner Terry Gray, Sr., on November 27, 2025.

During its January 12, 2026, meeting, Mayor Windley highlighted the process by which the Town would receive applications and the Board would make its selection:

Applications will be accepted by the Office of the Town Clerk until 5:00 p.m. on Monday, February 2, 2026.
During the March 9, 2026, meeting, the BOC will use the nomination-and-ballot method to fill the vacant seat from the eligible candidates submitting applications.
In the event an applicant is selected, the oath of office will be administered at the Board of Commissioners meeting on March 25, 2026, and the new commissioner will be seated.
