Subject 2nd Ward Update
Council:
The City staff has received an inquiry from the media regarding the status of applications for the
City Council appointment as well as petitions for a special election. Staff is concerned that this
information will show up in media coverage prior to the City Council members receiving this
information. They try to avoid any surprises for us. In keeping with this commitment to make
sure the City Council is the first to be informed, I would offer the following update to the two
issues:
1) As of this noon, there have been 4 applications for the 2°d Ward Council seat. They
are: Jim Gaunt, Mike Hamilton (no relation), James Romer, and Roy Young. As you
know, the application deadline is this afternoon at 5 p.m. As requested, I will distribute
in tomorrow's Council packet my recommendation for an appointee. The Council
Agenda for July 25`h will reflect this appointment item so action can be taken on my
recommendation next Tuesday night. I will update you after 5 p.m. today if there are
additional applications.
2) A petition, with 199 signatures, calling for an election to fill the 2°d Ward seat has
been filed with the Clerk's Office. This action confirms that the appointment will be a
temporary one. An additional item will be placed on the July 25`h agenda involving a
resolution calling an election to fill the vacant seat.
Thanks.
Ann
