  • Mona still seeking candidate to run for fourth council seat

While three people signed up to run for seats on the Mona City Council, not enough candidates filed to fill all four eligible seats.

"If no one registers," said Bryce Lynn, mayor, "I will just have to appoint someone to the council in January."

Rory Neilson, recently appointed to the council to fill the vacant seat left when Rick Schnurr resigned, is seeking a four-year term.

Cory Squire, current member of the council, is also running for election as a four-year council member.

Quentin Kay has registered to run for a two-year term on the council.

No one has signed up for the fourth seat.

A person cannot be elected to the council as a write-in candidate unless they have previously registered to run as a write-in candidate. Even if a large number of people vote for an individual, that person cannot be officially elected without first registering.

"All those wanting to run for a council seat have until Oct. 19 to register as write-in candidates," said Lyla Spencer, city recorder.
