All has

gone as planned so far during qualifying for the upcoming

City Council elections, with the possibility of one minor

change.

Mayor Pro

Tempore Annie McMenamin was the first to qualify, filing

her candidacy early Monday morning in her bid for

re-election to the city's Post 1 seat.

The first

of three candidates for Post 2, Chuck Lehman, qualified

later on Monday, while Bruce Perlman qualified Tuesday.

Dan Tennant became an official candidate Thursday

morning.

All three

of the candidates for Post 2, soon to be vacated by Jim

Pace, announced during the summer that they would be

running.

Another

candidate in the Post 1 race emerged Thursday morning.

James Melvin Ewing hand-delivered a press statement to

the Citizen offices just before noon, announcing that he

would be running.

Ewing said

that he would qualify Friday. As of noon Thursday, only

the four candidates mentioned above had qualified,

according to city clerk Nancy Faulkner.

Qualifying

was scheduled to end Friday at 4:30 p.m.

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.
