During the meeting, there was a brief discussion concerning seats on the council that will be on the November ballot. 

This year the seats that will be included are the Mayor's seat, Ron Elwick in the 2nd Ward who will not be seeking re-election, other seats that will on the ballot include 4th ward and one at-large seat for sure, possibly a second depending on Brian Parr's plans for moving out of the city limits. Filing begins August 26th and runs through September 19th. See the Auditor's office for details.
