Councilman Smith became Judge Smith last night at about 5:00 (to me anyways). I’m very happy for him and his family. He has served faithfully and thoughtfully and I thank him for his service.
The proposed process for a Council appointment as adopted last night is as follows:
May 6 & 15th (on or about) – Advertisement in local papers
May 22nd – deadline for letters of interest and resumes to Clerk
Jun 3 & 4 – Public hearing for candidates to present their statements of interest and be interviewed
June 8 – Appointment by Council
June 10th – swearing in of new Council Memeber
I expect that alterations to the process are possible but that’s what we proposed last night. If you have interest, you should contact the Clerk as I may have gotten something in the dates wrong and I wouldn’t want to be responsible for screwing up someone….:)

Suggestion – if you are interested in the opening, please attend the
Town Hall meeting this Monday 7:00PM at Haydon E.S. and other
council meetings (including comm. meetings) when possible
in the next few weeks – to get a sense of the requirements
of the position. The council calendar is listed on the city website.
Look forward to seeing you.

FYI: The legal ad in today’s News&Messenger (B9) headed
“City of Manassas Public Notice City Council Member
Appointment” is in error when it states the position is
to fill the balance of a term ending July 1, 2010.
It should read July 1, 2012.
The most important dates are correct:
– Applications will be accepted in the Clerk’s office until
May 22 at 5:00PM.
– Interviews will be held on June 3rd and, if necessary,
June 4th.
