The deadline to apply for the at-large city council seat nears as applications are due no later than 4:30 p.m. on Friday, January 15. Applications will remain open until filled.
The city is seeking to fill former councilmember Alicia Rule’s spot following her resignation, which she did to focus on her new role as 42nd Legislative District Position 1 representative.
The city has received eight applications since they opened December 8, but one person withdrew, Sam Crawford, city clerk and assistant to the city manager, said in an email to The Northern Light.
Blaine City Council meetings are bimonthly, during the second and fourth Mondays of each month, and the at-large councilmember is also required to participate at the study sessions and special council meetings.
Applicants must be legal Washington citizens, registered to vote before filing and have lived in Blaine for at least one year. Anyone living within city limits is eligible to apply for the councilmember position.
Applications can be found online at bit.ly/38ZMiqu and submitted online to cityofblaine.com.
Interviews with city council will be scheduled for late January or early February, according to the city of Blaine website.
For additional information, contact the city clerk’s office at 360/332-8311.
