Any potential candidates for the vacant Brenham City Council seat will need to file for it by Monday.

City Secretary Jeana Bellinger says the deadline to file for At-Large Council Position Five is Monday, October 8^th, at 5 p.m. The position has been vacant since August 16^th, when former councilman Charlie Pyle resigned due to ongoing health issues.

Currently, there is only one candidate that has filed for the seat: Clint Kolby. Kolby is a former Project Manager for the Brenham Economic Development Foundation.

If no one files by the deadline, Bellinger will present a certification detailing an unopposed election at October 18^th’s council meeting. The council would then move forward without the election—currently scheduled for December 8^th—and would swear in Kolby at a future meeting.

Anyone interested in filing for the position will need to pick up an application from Bellinger, and have it filed by 5 p.m. on October 8^th.

The winner of the seat will serve the rest of Pyle’s term, until May 2021.
