Waldo elections coming

WALDO – The upcoming elections in Waldo will feature some prominent names, including three council members who have held their seat since 2008.

The qualifying period for the election opened on Monday, Oct. 7, and closed on Thursday, Oct. 17. The slots up for grabs are council seats one, two, three and four, said Kim Worley, Waldo city manager.

Seat one has been held by Chuck Hall since 2002, the current the chair of the council. He has been active with the city dating back to the early 1980s, Worley said. The seat is a two-year term.

The vice-chair, Carolyn Wade, is turning her eyes to seat three. She hopes to win another two-year term, and continue her consecutive years of service; which date back to 2006, Worley said.

Council seat four will pit Rick Pisano against a possible challenger for the third and final two-year term available. Pisano first took over the seat to replace Gail Roberts in 2007, and he has held the seat every year since then.

The final council member position that will be open is seat two, which will only be a one-year term. Rodney Estes held the seat, until he retired from his 29-year career on the Waldo City Council over the summer. Glen Johnson was appointed in July to fill the seat until the December elections, Worley said. The winner of the seat will be finishing out Estes’ term.
