3 sworn in to council positions
City of Hondo elections were canceled for the 2012
election cycle, with three unopposed candidates filing back in March for
each of the three seats coming open.
John McAnelly filed for the Place 1 seat being
vacated by Mike Sanchez, and Sammy Nooner filed for the Place 2 seat
vacated by Clyde Haak.
Both will serve three years on council, with terms
set to expire in 2015.
Mayor Jim Danner filed for reelection as well, but
the mayor’s seat is only up for a one-year term this time. The mayor’s
one-year term will complete the stagger set forth in the City Charter
amendment election, putting two council seats up for election each year.
Next May, the mayor’s position and the Place 5 spot
will be on the ballot for three-year terms. Places 3 and 4 will be on
the ballot in 2014.
The three council members were to be sworn in at a
meeting Wednesday night, held after the Anvil Herald press
deadline.
