Based on the uncertified election returns from the City's General Municipal Election held
on Tuesday, November 3, 1998, Mr. Tod Ridgeway has been elected to represent District 1
and Mr. Garold Adams has been elected to represent District 4 on the City Council for a
term of four years, thus creating two vacancies on the Planning Commission.
Mr. Ridgeway was reappointed to a four -year term on the Planning Commission on June
24, 1996, which expires on June 30, 2000; and Mr. Adams was reappointed to a four -year
term on June 22, 1998, which expires on June 30, 2002, therefore appointments will need to
be made to fill their unexpired terms.
Pursuant to Council Policy A -2, I have prepared a Special Vacancy Notice for posting and
publication of the unscheduled vacancies (copy attached). As per the notice, applications
will be accepted by the City Clerk's office until 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 17, 1998.
At the close of the application period, I will forward the current applications on file, as well
as any new applications, to the newly - appointed ad -hoc appointments committee for them
to review and conduct any necessary interviews. The four nominations made by the
committee will be forwarded to the full Council for confirmation on Monday, January 11,
