The Woodland Park City Council is inviting residents to apply for a vacant council seat, with the application period running from June 1 to July 6. This vacancy arose following the election of George Jones as mayor.
During the May 7 meeting, council members discussed options for filling the seat, ultimately deciding that an appointment would be the most efficient and cost-effective method. A special election was considered but deemed too costly, and leaving the seat vacant was not favored by the public.
Interested residents are encouraged to submit their applications within the specified timeframe. The council aims to review applications and appoint a new member by the July 16 meeting. This process ensures that the council continues to operate at full capacity, addressing the needs and concerns of the Woodland Park community.
For more information on the application process and requirements, residents can visit the official Woodland Park city website or contact the city clerk’s office directly.
