The Gettysburg Borough Council is seeking applications for a member from the Third Ward and will be considering the applicants at the August 12th council meeting. The vacancy is due to the resignation of council member Charles Strauss.
The Third Ward is all areas south of Middle Street and West of Baltimore Street.
Candidates must be registered to vote and to have lived in the ward for one year.
Applications are online at the borough office, or you can contact the borough office or any council member.
Applications should be received by 5 p.m. on Friday August 8.
The appointment will be short one, lasting only until the first borough meeting in January 2020.
The Adams County Republican Committee and the Adams County Democratic Committee will each nominate one candidate for a two-year replacement for Strauss. The candidates will face each other in the November election. The winner will begin his or her term at the first borough meeting in 2020.
