The West Ranch Town Council will be selecting a candidate to fill the vacant council seat at its Wednesday November 1^st council meeting. There are two candidates vying for the council seat that was vacated when Paul Ash resigned in September.

At the October meeting there were three candidates that had turned in applications for the vacant seat. Two of the three were present, Don Fleming and Chuck O’Connell, at that meeting and had an impromptu opportunity to say a few words on why they would like to be selected for the open council seat. Since then, Mr. O’Connell has decided to withdraw his application for personal reasons.

Gary Morgan, who was not at the October meeting, will be given an equal opportunity to speak for a few moments at the beginning of tomorrow nights council meeting. At a later point in the meeting the Council President will call for nominations and then the entire council will cast votes for those candidates that were nominated. The candidate that garners the most votes will be sworn in by Los angeles County, 5th District, Senior Deputy Bob Haueter immediately following the selection process.
