Two candidates

have officially filed their qualification documents for the open position

on the Peachtree City Council that was recently vacated by veteran councilman

Robert Brooks.

Steve Brown

and Fred Wellman were the two residents who filed by early Thursday afternoon,

said Jane Miller, director of administrative services for Peachtree City.

A number of people had picked up applications during the first few weeks

of qualifying, but no one had turned theirs in until yesterday.

Qualifying

for the position ends this afternoon. The qualifying fee is set at $180

and applicants must be a registered voter, at least 21 years old and have

lived in the city for at least six months.

Council will

meet Tuesday at 6 p.m. in a special called meeting to interview potential

candidates for the position, which expires Dec. 31. As it would have occurred

had Brooks stayed on board, his replacement will be chosen by voters in

the general election this November.

The interview

process during the called meeting includes a five-minute presentation

from each candidate after which council members will be allowed to ask

questions of each candidate. No questions will be allowed from members

of the public or the press.

Council could

choose a candidate at the Tuesday meeting or wait until its next regular

meeting on Thursday, March 15.
