Council and Mayor seats open

Just an FYI if you are interested in running for City Council or Mayor, there are some spots up for election in November.

You need to turn in your candidacy paperwork between August 29 and September 22. you will need to get 10 signatures of Roland adults to be placed on the ballot.

There are 3 city council spots open, which are for 4 year terms. They are the spots currently held by Larry Ford, Corey Johnson, and Doug Sargent. There is also the mayor spot held by yours truly, and the mayor is a 2 year term.

I still have a Park Board and Library Board position open, if you are interested, let me know. Those would be great if you don't want to be in an election, but would still like to help Roland.

I was thinking about the Roland, and our council and board positions. There are approximately 33 of those positions. And there are approximately 800 adults 18 and over in Roland. If you just go with 2 adults in each household, about 1 house out of every 12 in Roland needs somebody on a city board of some kind.

Gonna give my props to my homies here on Arthur Drive. There are 17 houses on Arthur Drive and 7 of those homes have a person on one of the boards.
