Next week

is the time to officially stake your claim for one of two

City Council seats available in Peachtree City this fall.

Qualifying

begins Monday at 8:30 a.m. and concludes Friday, Sept.

17, at 4:30 p.m. at the city clerk's office at City Hall.

Any registered voter 21 or older who has been a resident

of Peachtree City for at least six months by election day

(Nov. 2) is eligible.

The

qualifying fee is $180.

Three

residents have publicly declared that they will vie for

the Post 2 seat being vacated by Jim Pace - Chuck

Lehman, Bruce Perlman and Dan Tennant. Pace announced

early this summer that he would not seek a second term.

In Post 1,

Annie McMenamin is unopposed so far.

City

Council positions are numbered 1-4 for election purposes

only. All posts are "at-large," which means

that each council member represents the entire city.

All seats

are held for four-year terms. Council members receive a

salary of $6,000 per year.

If a runoff

is necessary, it will be Nov. 16. Deadline for voter

registration is Oct. 4.
