MORENCI — Mayor Tracy Schell will be unopposed for re-election on the November ballot, and five candidates have turned in petitions to run for three seats on the city council.
Incumbent council members Kori M. Christle and Kandi Speiser filed to run for re-election. Gail Cleghorn, Brad Lonis, and Gary Pfund also turned in paperwork to run for the three council seats that are up for election this year.
To be eligible to serve, residents must have lived in the city for one full year as of the November election. The city council has six seats, and council members’ four-year terms are staggered so that they do not all expire at the same time. The mayor serves a two-year term.
The Morenci City Council typically meets at 6 p.m. on the second Monday of the month.
