Interested Tigard Voters Encouraged to Apply for the Vacant Council Position
As of the morning of January 23, 2004, no applications have been received for the vacant City Council position. A recent newspaper article reported that two persons were vying for this position. However, this position is wide open and the City Council encourages any interested Tigard voter to apply. City Recorder Cathy Wheatley advises that �Only one person has contacted City staff indicating he was interested in the vacant position. Mr. Tom Woodruff requested and was mailed an application form.�

Persons interested in being considered for appointment to the position of City Councilor must complete the "Citizen Committee Interest Application for City Council" and answer three supplemental questions. Application forms are available at Tigard City Hall, Tigard Library and on the city website.

Completed applications must be submitted to Liz Newton, Assistant to the City Manager, at City Hall, 13125 SW Hall Blvd, Tigard, OR 97223. The deadline to accept applications is noon on Friday, February 6, 2004.

Applications must indicate how applicants can be reached on Wednesday, February 11, between 8am and 5pm. Persons will be contacted if selected to be interviewed for the vacant Council position. Selected candidates must be available to be interviewed by the City Council the evening of Thursday, February 12.

The tentative schedule is for appointment and swearing in of the successful Council candidate on either February 24 or March 9, 2004.

Questions can be direct to City Recorder, Cathy Wheatley, or Assistant to the City Manager, Liz Newton, at 503-639-4171.
