Council approves appointment of Mark Childress to Ward 2
Summary
The Seminole City Council appointed Mark Childress to complete the Ward 2 seat vacated by Jolene Doucette; members voted unanimously and Childress took the oath of office.
Chair introduced the mayoral appointment of Mark Childress to replace Jolene Doucette and summarized Childress’s background, including 35 years as a Seminole resident and a long public‑health career. "He, Mark and his family have lived here for 35 years here in Seminole," the Chair said, noting Childress’s service on the wellness center board.
Council members moved and seconded the appointment and, following a roll call conducted by Jay, the motion passed. The Chair then directed Brad to administer the oath of office; members welcomed Childress and the Chair reminded the council that Childress will finish the current term and must refile in December to continue serving.
The appointment was presented as a short‑term fill to the current term rather than a full elective term. No amendments or conditions were added during the meeting, and the council recorded the formal approval by roll call.
