Council Fills Council Seat "A"

The city council decision is in.

The council's unanimous selection for Bill Glasmann's vacated At-Large council Seat "A":

Susan E. Van Hooser!

Councilwoman Van Hooser took the city council oath 45 minutes ago.

Weber County Forum congratulates Mrs. Van Hooser for her new appointment, and once again thanks the other 38 Emerald City citizens who also participated as applicants in the process.

We anticipate posting a more detailed report later on, but wanted to get the basic information out now.

Consider the floor open for discussion.

Update 9/28/06 9:48 a.m. MT: Your humble blogmeister has this morning whipped up and uploaded a brief summary of last night's council appointment special event; and Scott Schwebke's thumb-nail rendition can be found this morning on the Std-Ex archive site.

We ask that our readers foregive the delay in providing this update. Our blog host has been experiencing SEVERE AND ANNOYING technical problems since late last night. Special apologies to the guy who emailed us during this morning's wee hours, complaining that our blog "ate" his comment masterpiece. It ate a number of comments, actually, although we were later able to restore most of these.

We'll stand by for continuing reader questions or comments.
