Edited Press Release -- Springfield City Council will take applications Monday January 7 through Friday, January 18, for the General D seat left vacant following Thomas Bieker's November 2 resignation.
Bieker resigned from council after he moved outside the city limits.
Whoever is appointed will serve the remainder of the term, which ends in April 2015.
Applications can be downloaded from the city's website, but must be submitted in person to the City Clerk's Office on the 4th floor of the Busch Municipal Building during regular business hours.
Candidates must sign an affidavit attesting to their qualifications.
City Charter section 2.5 states that vacancies will be filled with a majority City Council vote and the appointee will serve in the position until the next regular city election.
Mayor Bob Stephens said the process will be similar to the one used previously to fill vacancies.
City Council will meet to discuss applications submitted and select finalists for in-person interviews.
