Vacancy Filled

The Sheridan City Council met for their regular business meeting Monday night. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

Eight Sheridan residents applied to fill the vacant council position that was created by the resignation of Councilman Shawn Day last month due to his recent move outside of City limits.  The City Council interviewed each of the eight candidates at a study session on Monday, March 11. Six of the eight candidates were nominated for consideration under new business at Monday night’s City Council meeting. The first and only nominee to receive a majority vote of the governing body was Aaron Linden, who was sworn-in by City Clerk Cecilia Good shortly after the Council’s vote to have Linden fill the unexpired term.

In other business, the Council approved $468,200 in General Purpose Excise Tax allocations for 18 various local nonprofit agencies for fiscal year 2025 and tabled second reading of ordinance 2278, a request from Story House Property Company  to rezone 44.8 acres from B-2 to a Planned Unit Development.We’ll have more from the Council meeting in future stories.
