The Stevensville Town Council has received four applications for the two seats on the council that were recently vacated following the resignations of Ward 1 Councilor Bob Michalson and Ward 2 Councilor Robin Holcomb. By the close of the November 18 deadline, four applications had been received, two applications for each ward. Wallace Smith and Paul Ludington applied for the Ward 1 seat and Patrick Schourd and Sydney Allen applied for the seat in Ward 2.
The two remaining councilors, Jaime Devlin and Dempsey Vick, who will make the appointments to fill the vacancies, held a special meeting last Friday at which they decided to interview all four applicants. The interviews will be conducted in a live streamed Zoom meeting, scheduled for November 30 at 7 p.m. The appointments could possibly be made in time to have the new councilors on board for the December 10 council meeting.
Due to a timing issue an unrelated item will also be added onto the Zoom meeting agenda so that the council can take action on a lease contract for a hangar at the airport.
Jim Crews says
The mayor’s seat is up for election this year. The two recently resigned council seat must come up for election and Dempsey Vicks seat must be elected this coming year as well.
