City officials have had trouble filling the seat.
City Administrator Jim Arndt had told The Missourian that there were very few people coming forward to fill the spot.
In September Blum recommended the seat be filled by Josh Kasper, but Kasper withdrew his name several days before being sworn in citing eligibility concerns.
If approved, Tate's term will last until the April elections.
Davis, an employee of Chrysler, resigned as his work was transferred to the Kokomo, Ind., plant and would no longer be able to fulfill board duties.
At the time, he said he didn't want to resign, but needed to finish out his last few years of Chrysler before retirement.
His family still resides in St. Clair and he returns on weekends.
