There was only one item on the Fillmore City Council special meeting agenda this week, and that was the Council interview and selection of a new council member to be appointed to fill the vacancy left by the recent passing of Ari Larson on September 17th. By a unanimous vote of the Council, Simone Alex was appointed to fill the open position. The meeting was adjourned by Mayor Mark Austin shortly after 9:00 p.m. and no biographical information on Ms. Alex was available before press time. A photo and more information will be provided in next week’s edition.
