PORT ANGELES — The City Council will interview seven people Wednesday for the seat vacated by Larry Little.
The seven candidates applied for the open seat on the Port Angeles City Council by today’s 3 p.m. deadline.
The City Council will interview the applicants during a special meeting at 5 p.m. Wednesday in the council chambers at City Hall, 321 E. Fifth St.
The six council members may make a decision then, or wait until their Feb. 2 meeting.
Little, who was elected in the November general election, resigned Dec. 31, citing his wife’s cancer and chemotherapy treatments and the needs of his family.
The applicants are:
• Brad Collins, Serenity House of Clallam County development director and former Port Angeles planning director. Collins lost to Port of Port Angeles commissioner John Calhoun in the November general election.
• Dan Maguire, former Clallam County Family YMCA executive director.
• Thomas Davis, a musician, who served as an Indian Council chairman while he was in El Dorado County, Calif.
• Rick Burton, Nippon Paper Industries USA employee and unsuccessful 2009 Port Angeles council candidate.
• Glenn Wiggins, a forestry consultant and a former Port Angeles city councilman and former mayor.
• John Matthews, planning commissioner and mail carrier.
• Sheryle Outcalt, registered nurse.
The appointee, who will serve a two-year term, will hold the tiebreaking vote for deputy mayor.
Council members Cherie Kidd and Don Perry each received three votes for the No. 2 position at the council’s Jan. 5 meeting after the council picked Dan Di Guilio as mayor.
The council seat will be up for election in November 2011.
