Filing or candidates runs from Sept. 28 to Oct. 9. A candidate must be a
resident of the city for 30 days prior to election and present the signatures
of 40 registered voters on a nominating petition. A campaign treasurer also
needs to be named at the time of filing. Most candidates typically announce
in mid-September and campaign for about 6 weeks.
If anyone on the 2020 list is interested in running, or if you know anyone
interested in planning and growth issues who is considering becoming a
candidate, please let me know. A meeting of prospective candidates will
be organized sometime in the next 2 weeks (not sponsored by Vision 2020).
The salary is $425 a month, rising to $450 in January.
The mayor's position isn't up until 1997. Council positions held by
Larry Hodge, Linda Pall and Tony Johnson will be up in '97.
