Council position opens up in Electric City

The Electric City Council accepted the resignation of Councilmember Willie Bott at their May 11 council meeting. 

Health reasons were said to be the reason behind his resignation.

Bott’s position is up for reelection this November, and the person who is appointed to the position will have to run for reelection at that time to stay in that position.

Don Redfield was appointed as an interim council member and will hold the position until the city reviews any other candidates and appoints one, possibly Redfield himself. 

Others interested in filling the council position can call city hall at 633-1510. 

Candidates filing for the November election need to file their intent to run with Grant County this week, May 17-21.
