[November 13, 2010]  Monday will be the first day anyone wishing to file as a candidate for city alderman can do so.

InsuranceThe filing period for this year will begin at 9 a.m. Nov. 15 and run through Nov. 22.

This year there are seven city council seats up for grabs, as five are up for four-year terms and two are up for two-year terms.

In Ward 1 the seat currently held by Stacy Bacon will be available for a two-year term as will the seat currently held by Tom O'Donohue in Ward 4.

The other five seats available are four-year terms currently held by Melody Anderson in Ward 1; Kathy Horn, Ward 2; Joni Tibbs, Ward 3; Buzz Busby, Ward 4; and Jeff Hoinacki in Ward 5.

Petitions and candidate guides may be obtained in the city clerk's office at City Hall or downloaded from the State Board of Elections website and should be returned to the clerk's office once all requirements are completed.

There is also a link to the State Board of Elections from the city website.

Late filings will be rejected, so prospective candidates should be certain that they file in a timely manner.

Candidates will then be placed on the ballot for the Feb. 22 primary election.
