Council will consider 11 applicants at the regular meeting. The new council member will be picked following a closed session deliberation. The appointee will serve through the end of the Place 2 term in May.

In a public hearing, each applicant will speak for up to three minutes in opening statements; the public will have the opportunity to comment; and council members can question applicants.

According to city documents, the applicants include:

  • Juan Alanis Jr.

  • Dennis Farris

  • Gary Hampton Jr.

  • Steve Hanes

  • Andy Hogue

  • Donnie Mahan

  • Gerald Prater

  • Trey Schisser

  • Annette Sponseller

  • Nacole Thompson

  • Cody Velkovich


The Oct. 15 meeting will begin at 8 p.m. at Pat Bryson Municipal Hall located at 201 N. Brushy St., Leander. The regular meeting will begin later than usual due to early voting in council chambers.
