 Former Council Member Jeff Spradley in the audience |
At their 3 May 2011 meeting, the
Lake Park City Council
acknowledged that one of their number had moved out of the
city limits and resigned, so they had to decide whether
to hold a special election or just wait until the November
regular election.
After long deliberation, which seemed to be decided by the
precedent of Dasher going ahead with a special election,
Lake Park decided this:
Mayor Walter K. Sandlin,
Council Member Ronald Carter,
Council Member Eric Schindler,
City Attorney Rob Plumb,
Mayor Pro-Tem Council Member Paul Mulkey
Due to the resignation of Council Member Spradley
a Special Election will be held
September 20, 2011 to fill the vacancy.
Qualifying period will open on June 1st and end
12 noon on June 3rd.
There is a qualifying fee of $54.00.
We have no wards. All positions are “at large”.

So if you live in Lake Park and you want to run, you need
to qualify by noon today.
Mayor Sandlin predicted there would be multiple qualifiers.
We’ll see how it goes.
Incidentally, the entire council is up for election in November,
including whoever wins the special election will have to run again in November
if they want to stay on the council.
In that and other business, it is quite interesting watching this city council
interact rather informally with citizens, yet taking some care
