Heads up to everyone who lives in Ward 4. With Trevor Villines resignation the other night, that opens up an opportunity for anyone living in Ward 4 to apply for his vacant spot. Typically this is an elected position but since his term does not end till 2028 when that position will be up for election , the council must vote to fill the spot. Anyone wanting to fill this spot must follow the procedure outlined in the post and must submit all paperwork before the deadline. We encourage anyone who wants to be a part of moving this city forward to apply. Attached is the ward map for anyone who doesn't know if they for sure live in ward 4. (It is the dark green area.) Deadline is Nov. 20th
