The Bartlesville City Council is seeking applicants interested in representing the city’s Ward 4 for the remainder of the current term, which ends in December 2016.
The seat was recently vacated — nearly a year before the next scheduled election, which will be held in November 2016. The Bartlesville city charter requires the remaining council members to appoint someone to fill the unexpired term, or until the next election is held.
The council agreed Monday that resumes will be accepted and an appointment considered during a council meeting set for Feb. 1.
To be eligible for the appointment, applicants must be a resident of Ward 4 for at least six months prior to the appointment, have no felony convictions, be at least 25 years of age and hold no other position in the city government by appointment of the city manager or public office which would constitute a conflict of interest.
Anyone interested in being appointed to represent Ward 4 for the remainder of the current term should submit a resume by 5 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 27, to the city manager’s office, located on the second floor of City Hall, 401 S. Johnstone Ave. Resumes may also be emailed to rebanes@cityofbartlesville.org.
