City leaders are accepting applications for the vacant Place 1 seat from Jan. 23-30, Mayor Norman Funderburk said during the Jan. 22 council meeting. Following the application period, city officials will interview prospective council members before making a decision.

“We will interview the candidates and make a decision on the most qualified individual and make that appointment,” Funderburk said.

Sorting out details

City law allows the City Council to either hold a special election or appoint a replacement council member, Funderburk said.

The Place 1 term runs until 2027, according to the city's website.
