Kirksville City Council plans to have vacancy filled by early next week
The Kirksville City Council plans to have its vacancy filled by next Monday.
That process was outlined at the end of Monday’s regular City Council meeting, with current councilmembers looking over applicants for the next few days.
Monday marked the deadline for interested citizens to apply for the position and four did. Those four are Kabir Bansal, Diane Treece, Jennifer Walston and Richard Kaiser.
The councilmembers will get sealed ballots where they will order the candidates as they see fit. Those sealed ballots will be given to City Clerk Wanda Cagle, who will then tally up the totals. As was mentioned Monday by City Manager Mari Macomber, those votes should be completed by Wednesday.
