Columbia Falls council selects Stacy to fill vacant seat after special interviews
Summary
After a special July 27 meeting to interview three candidates, Columbia Falls council members reported written preferences and announced Stacy as the appointee to the vacant council seat; Stacy accepted. The council scheduled follow-up steps including swearing-in timing within 30 days.
Mayor Barnhart announced the council's appointment of Stacy to the vacant Columbia Falls council seat following a special interview meeting on Monday, July 27. After council members privately recorded written preferences and tallied results, the mayor said, "we'd like to welcome Stacy, as our next council member." Stacy accepted: "I accept, and I'm honored."
The selection followed a round of joint interviews in which three finalists — Beth, Roger and Stacy — described priorities including managing growth, infrastructure and public safety. Council members discussed logistics for formalizing the appointment and noted the statutory selection window; one council member reminded the body that the district's selection must be completed within 30 days. The transcript does not record a formal roll-call vote; council members instead used written rankings and the chair announced the outcome.
