Updated 1/31/24 @ 11:25 a.m. – Per City Clerk Heather Boehm, no additional applications were received.

As was previously announced on the Banner, the Common Council is accepting applications for the open District 1 seat that was held by David Stone, who resigned. A map of the districts may be found here. District 1 is basically in the east/southeast part of the city; a call to the city clerk’s office can confirm a resident’s district. The council will interview the candidates on February 6, and if a selection is made, that individual will be immediately sworn in for a term that will expire in April, 2025. The deadline for applications is Tuesday, January 30 at 4:30 p.m.

Common Council meetings are held on the first and third Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. Members are expected to review the agenda packet prior to the meeting. In addition, all members serve on one or more committees. The salary is $300 per month.

Applications can be physically picked up at the second floor of the Municipal Building, found at 312 W Whitewater Street, or they can be found online at the City Website. If you have any questions about the application please contact the City Clerk at 262-473-0102 or at hboehm@whitewater-wi.org.

The following individuals have submitted applications as of the close of the Clerk’s Office on Monday:

Curtis Knull, 404 E. Cravath Street
Patrick Singer, 263 Amber Drive

One other person submitted an application; however, his residence is not within the city, which is a requirement.

This vacancy occurred too late to be placed on the April 2, 2024 election. The Common Council chose to wait until the 2025 spring election to fill the seat rather than calling a special election.
