Aldermen rotate through the position and it's Heatherington's turn. Council will be discussing changes to the bylaw that would allow it to change the rotation of who takes the role. Dar Heatherington at her June news conference. Joe Mauro, who introduced a motion in July that council ask Heatherington to resign – which was defeated – says the public supports the move.

"From the feedback I've been getting, they don't want it. They're not very happy," he said of Heatherington becoming deputy mayor. "I expect that [Heatherington's] not going to be happy with this and she will probably, you know, give us all a piece of her mind and tell us her side of the story."

At the July meeting, Heatherington tore a strip off Mauro and Mayor Bob Tarleck.

Heatherington declined to comment on the new motion, but says she will be at Monday's debate.

Heatherington disappeared from Great Falls, Mont. on May 3 and turned up three days later in Las Vegas, claiming to have been drugged, abducted and sexually assaulted.

She was charged with making false statements by the Great Falls Police, who said she changed her story and told them she'd willingly gone to Nevada with a man she met along the city's bike paths. Prosecutors allowed her to plead not guilty to the charge and will drop it after one year, on the condition she receive psychiatric counselling.

Heatherington says she pleaded not guilty because she's not guilty, and that she accepted no deal. She maintained during an emotional June news conference that she was abducted, drugged and repeatedly sexually assaulted.

Lethbridge Police have charged her with mischief, after an eight-month investigation led them to believe she had made up allegations that she was being stalked.

The Crown has decided to prosecute the case as an indictable offence, which means Heatherington faces a maximum sentence of five years in jail if convicted. Her next court appearance is in August, when she is expected to enter a plea.

Alberta's Municipal Government Act disqualifies anyone convicted of a criminal offence with a maximum sentence of five years or more from serving on council.
