The Bowie City Council has received two applicants interested in filling the unexpired term of former south precinct Councilor Machelle Mills who resigned her position this week.
City Secretary Sandy Page said Jason Love, who runs Sweet Boy’s Diner with his family, has filed, along with Jason Johnson, who works as a certified nurse’s aide at Advanced Rehabilitation.
Mills submitted her resignation on Sept. 21 and it was too late to make Monday’s agenda for action by the council. The city has 30 days to fill the vacancy or call a special election.
Page said the appointment will be made at the Oct. 8 meeting because the next regular meeting would fall outside the time frame.
Those who wish to submit an application can do so at the city offices. The candidate must live in the south precinct to qualify for consideration and must have resided in that precinct for at least six months.
