At this stage? Seemingly, no. Greg Norton, Mel's brother, may run now that his brother is stepping aside and left a decent reputation. Others on the council (referring to older members of council) are too toxic and their names carry too many negative connotations to be in any serious contention.
Likely someone will come out of left field and run. If they do, municipal elections aren't until the fall, so i'd anticipate candidates to come forward in the late spring/early summer.

That's the belief right now. The PCs have been in no great hurry to replace their interim leader. Norton would likely run in Saint John Harbour if he were to run, which would give the Saint John-area potential PC MLAs Norton, Flemming, and Higgs, and not including Holder, Savoie, and Shepherd...pretty strong group, IMO.
But that's counting chickens before they hatch.
