The council conducted a short Q&A with two applicants for an at-large council vacancy. Applicants emphasized housing and economic development. Council set the appointment for the next meeting (July 21) and encouraged staff to ensure candidate materials remain available in the Dropbox packet.
Denison City Council held a question-and-answer session with applicants for an at-large council vacancy. The council confirmed the application materials were available in the council packet under “council vacancy 202637” and invited the applicants to explain why they sought the seat.
Pam, who was introduced by council members and identified during the meeting as a former mayor, said housing development was her top priority. “My top one would be housing… the city currently owns 13 or 14 acres south of town. I would want to work hand in hand in getting that developed,” she said.
Eric Jones introduced himself as a high school teacher and coach who has lived in the community for about eight years. Jones said he would emphasize economic development and affordable housing and noted experience on a high-school building leadership team and a history of community service.
