Because the citizen chosen will be completing the term for which Mr. Jones was elected, candidates must reside in the Bayside District to be eligible for appointment.

To look up your district, visit the City Map Tool, select the layers icon. From the layers list, select "Voting Information" and from that drop-down menu, select "Former Council Districts."

The citizen appointed by City Council will hold office until Dec. 31, 2022.

City Council will review the applications in closed session on July 12 and will narrow the list of candidates to determine who will be interviewed publicly at a special session on Aug. 2. Finalists will be announced and City Council will accept public comment on Aug. 9. City Council will then vote to select an appointee on either Aug. 9 or 16.
