The City of Norman received 10 applications for the interim Ward 2 seat, which has been vacant twice in one year.
At least two candidates applied for the second time, and two were candidates who vied for the seat during the February special election. The application window closed Friday.
The seat became vacant after the death of newly-elected David Perry in August 2020, and the resignation of Matt McGarry this March.
A committee will review the applications and make a nomination to the council. The nomination will be subject to council approval.
The committee includes former Ward 2 Councilors Joe Carter, Aleisha Karjala and Richard Stawicki, Britton Perry â son of former Ward 2 Councilor David Perry â and non-voting member Ward 4 Councilor Lee Hall.
