At the end of Tuesday’s regular meeting, council emerged from an executive session and voted to approve Amie Ernst as the newest council member.
According to council chair Phil Clyburn, two people applied for the spot, and “both were excellent candidates.” He said that while in executive session, council members discussed at length the merits of each of the candidates before voting on the matter once back in open session.

The remaining council members have decided to accept petitions from any residents who may be interested in serving the remainder of Branham’s term, which runs through Dec. 31, 2023.
The qualifications are that the interested person must be a registered voter in Ohio, at least 18 years old, and live within Greenfield’s corporation limits. Additionally, the petition requires 25 signatures, responses to questions within the petition packet, and a resume.
