PORT ANGELES — Former Mayor Glenn Wiggins is one of three applicants for a vacancy on the City Council.
The other two are former council candidate Rick Burton and Thomas Davis.
Wiggins, a 78-year-old forestry consultant, said he applied because he has more time on his hands due to the economic slump and thinks his experience will be of use to the council.
“Well, I think I might be able to be helpful,” he said.
Wiggins served on the council in 1996-2003. He was mayor in 2002 and 2003.
The council position became available when Larry Little, elected in the November general election, resigned Dec. 31, two days after he took the oath of office. He cited his wife’s cancer and chemotherapy treatments and the needs of his family.
Applications for the vacancy, which are due 3 p.m. Tuesday, can be picked up at the City Manager’s Office and City Clerk’s Office — both at City Hall, 321 E. Fifth St. — and can be downloaded on the city’s Web site, www.cityofpa.us.
The six council members will interview applicants Jan. 20. A selection may be made then or at the council’s Feb. 2 meeting.
