The Town Council has had a busy two years with grant projects and new ordinances. Two councilmen hope to retain their positions to see work started under their administration completed, while a challenger hopes to be elected to one of their seats in Tuesday's election. Jim Rye and Dave Trout, both incumbents, and resident A.J. Henderson are all running for one of two council seats.
Term of office is two years.
Mayor Ralph E. Godwin's seat was also open, but no resident was nominated or qualified to run against him. Without a challenger, Godwin will be sworn into office in April. Rye said the council also made progress with ordinances, including one for signs and one for cellular towers, as well as a Community Development Block Grants for paving projects. Trout, an Interlachen volunteer firefighter, was elected in 1998. He is also interested in the Interlachen Hall project and paving grants.
