KAGAWONG—Two candidates have stepped forward and put their name forward as a candidate for a vacant seat on Billings township council.
As has been announced on the Billings township website, Ian Anderson, a former mayor of Billings, has put his name forward along with newcomer to the local election circuit, Deborah Flaxman.
“It is really nice to see people want to serve on the council to serve and benefit the community,” stated Councilor Dave Hillyard at a council meeting last week. “We have had two applicants put their names forward for council. This is very positive to see.”
As has been reported previously, former Billings councillor Jim Cahill resigned from his position on council in December. Subsequently, on December 19 council declared one councillor seat vacant and approved the option of appointing an eligible elector to fill the vacant position.
Those wishing to put their name forward for the vacant council position have until January 31 to do so. Council will be selecting a candidate from among those who put their names forward to fill the council position at its February 6 meeting.
