Filing opened Wednesday for candidates wishing to seek a position on any of six local boards during this spring’s elections.
The City of Clarendon has three positions opening this year, the mayor and two aldermen, all of which serve for two-year terms. Those seats are currently held by Mayor Larry Hicks and Aldermen Tommy Hill and Debbie Roberts.
The City of Howardwick has five offices open this year, the mayor, two aldermen for full terms, and two aldermen for unexpired terms. The mayor’s seat has been vacant for over a year since Del Essary resigned.
An unexpired alderman’s seat is held by Mayor Pro-Tem Johnny Hubbard, who carried over last spring after his term expired last year, and the other unexpired term is vacant. The two full terms are held by Gene Rogers and Brenda Hampton. Full terms are for two years, and unexpired terms are for one year.
Hedley has three positions open on its Board of Aldermen this year. Two of the seats are currently held by David Wells and Tonya Metcalf, and the third seat is currently vacant following the November resignation of Karon Ely. Aldermen serve two-year terms.
Three positions on the Clarendon ISD Board of Trustees are up this year. Those seats are currently held by Robin Ellis, Jim Shelton, and Richard Gribble and are three-year terms.
Two full terms are up this year on the Hedley ISD Board of Trustees. The full terms of James Edward Potts and Bonnie Walsh are up and are three-year terms.
The Donley County Hospital District will select three two-year positions on its board, now held by Wayne Tubbs (Place 1), Bob Watson (Place 2), and Melinda McAnear (Place 3).
All local offices are elected at-large, but hospital board candidates must sign up for a specific place.
Sign up continues through March 1, 2013; and the elections will be held Saturday, May 11.
