This ordinance allowed for variable term lengths for initial terms and public notice was given for the following: two vacancies with one-year terms, three vacancies with two-year terms, and two vacancies with three-year terms. After initial terms all vacancies will transition to two-year terms.
At close of business on June 30, 2022, the City Clerk’s office had received six applicants through the online system. Above recommended term lengths are based on requests from the applicants.
If all current applicants are appointed, one vacancy for a one-year term will remain to be filled.
