City council opening in Cedar Hills

By Linda Petersen
CEDAR HILLS — With the election of Jenney Rees to the position of mayor, the city now needs to fill her council seat. City officials are looking for a qualified applicant to appoint to the position. Interested residents have until December 29 at 5 p.m. to submit an application to the city recorder.

To qualify, an applicant must be a registered voter, a Cedar Hills resident of at least 12 months, mentally competent and to have not been convicted of felony, treason or a crime against an elective franchise.

On the application, the candidate is asked to list what skills, technical or professional knowledge, licenses, certificates or professional achievements he/she has which would enhance their application. The applicant is also asked why they want to be a member of the city council and to share what his/her vision for Cedar Hills over the next 10 years. They are asked what their strongest attribute is and what the biggest obstacle they would have in serving on the city council.

The position will be filled on January 2 at a city council meeting that night.

Rees has served on the city council since 2012. Her council responsibilities have included communications and media relations and the Family Festival.

She ran unopposed for the mayoral seat after opponent Curt Crosby was disqualified, after failing to submit a financial disclosure statement prior to the election. (Mayor Gary Gygi chose not to run again.)

Rees has said, "As mayor I will focus on communication and transparency, fiscal responsibility, planning for our commercial zone and infrastructure needs, and promoting community."

"I have loved every minute of the last six years and feel the support and love from you. This has truly been one of the great honors of my life," Mayor Gary Gygi wrote to residents in the December city newsletter.
