Springfield—Mayor Jim O’Neal announced yesterday that a replacement has been selected for the City Council Zone 3 seat vacated earlier this month. “It is my pleasure to announce our newest Councilman Mr. Malph Ranley,” said O’Neal, “Mr. Ranley is a longtime volunteer, a civic leader who will be known for his enthusiasm for the city and I hear he has a fondness for passing out Eisenhower silver dollar coins.”
Mr. Ranley will serve the remainder of the existing term until expiration in 2011 if the city council approves the appointment. Selecting one of the 10 applicants to fill the open Zone 3 position was difficult according to the Mayor. However, when all the applicants experience was laid out side by side “Ranley’s stood out…there’s something about that guy that I like. He looks familiar. Oh well, what’s that you say about H1N1 again?” said O’Neal.
Ranley said that one day he would like to serve as elected mayor pro tem. Pending approval, the new Councilmember will be sworn into office at the City Council meeting on Monday, May 18.
