Tiffin schedules Feb. 10 special meeting to fill vacant council seat; application process clarified
Summary
Tiffin City Council set a special meeting for Feb. 10 to interview and possibly appoint a replacement for the vacant seat of John Kaylor. Council described the appointment as an interim term through year-end and outlined application materials and the interview process.
Tiffin City Council announced a special meeting for 5:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 10, in Council Chambers to interview applicants and potentially appoint a replacement for the vacant council seat left by John Kaylor.
Council leaders said the appointment would fill the seat only through the end of the calendar year. Candidates must be at least 18, have lived in the city for at least one year and be a registered voter, the council said. Nomination is by self-nomination; interested residents must submit a letter of interest and a resume to the city administrator and attend the Feb. 10 special meeting for interviews. The transcript did not include a clearly stated calendar date for the submission deadline; the council said materials must be submitted by 4:30 p.m. on the Wednesday specified in the city's notice.
Council discussed the meeting agenda and interview process in public: the special meeting will open with invocation and pledge, call roll, accept written communications, take oral communications and then hear introductions and questions from candidates who submitted materials. Council said it intends to vote that evening if the panel completes interviews; if not, the vote will be continued to the following week.
Councilmember discussion also clarified the length of the appointment. One council member asked the body to “reaffirm how long this appointment’s for,” and the president and other council members confirmed the appointment runs only through the end of the year.
Logistics and next steps
Council announced a related Streets, Sidewalks and Sewers committee meeting to be held at 5:15 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 11, in Council Chambers to consider the mayor’s paving request and other committee business; that committee may also consider matters related to the special-meeting agenda.
Ending
Council members said they will accept candidate materials at the city administrator’s office and conduct interviews at the Feb. 10 special meeting, with a vote expected that evening if the council completes its interview schedule.
