Platteville Still Trying To Fill District 3 Vacancy

City of Platteville Officials are still trying to fill a vacant Common Council seat. Council members will meet this evening to interview applicants at their regular meeting for the open District 3 seat. Two previous meetings originally scheduled for that purpose were canceled because no one applied. The seat has been vacant since mid-April when former office holder Barb Daus resigned to move into the District 2 seat. Daus, the current council president, used to live in District 3 but now resides in District 2 after redistricting. She ran unopposed for the District 2 seat in April after former Council Member Eileen Nickels stepped down. Applicants for the open seat must be at least 18 years old and live in the district. Whoever assumes the role will serve until the end of Daus’ original term in April 2024. The seat then will be up for election for a typical three-year term.
