Seven applicants were added to the list since Monday, and no other applicants filed before the 5 p.m. Wednesday deadline, the Ogden City recorder’s office confirmed to the Standard-Examiner.

The most recent applicants include: John M. Thompson, Eric Neff, Juliene Snyder, Travis Pate, Pieder Beeli, Andrey Akhmedov and Sylvia Newman.

Thompson lists himself as an education programs manager for Cache Refugee & Immigrant Connection on his conflict-of-interest disclosure.

Neff lists himself as director of admissions advisement and recruitment at Weber State University on his conflict-of-interest disclosure.

Snyder lists herself as a full-time mom on her conflict-of-interest disclosure.

Akhmedov lists himself as a software engineer for Raft LLC and a staff sergeant intelligence analyst for the Air Force at Davis Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona, on to his conflict-of-interest disclosure. He also listed himself as a commissioner on the Ogden Planning Commission. According to the Ogden Planning Commission website, Akhmedov is in his first term, which goes from March 2024 to July 2027.

Newman listed herself as retired from Weber State University on her conflict-of-interest disclosure. She also listed herself as having served as a board member for Weber County RAMP and as an editorial board member for the Salt Lake Tribune in the preceding year.

The other applicants are: Jeremy Peterson, Arlene Anderson, Jeffrey Heiner, Alexander Castagno, Sherri Morreale, Eric Holmes, Jeremy Shinoda, Jose Torres, Rick Southwick, Heath Satow, J. Levi Andersen and John H. Thompson.

The applicants are vying for At Large Seat C, which is being vacated by Council member Shaun Myers, who is leaving to be in the presidency of the Ogden temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The application window ran from July 6 through 5 p.m. Wednesday.

The City Council will interview the applicants during a public meeting Tuesday and the appointed candidate will be determined at that meeting.

Myers’ resignation takes effect July 31, and the appointed candidate will take office Aug. 1. The appointed candidate will serve the remainder of Myers’ term, which concludes January 2028.

At a special City Council meeting Tuesday, the council voted unanimously in favor of a procedures resolution, which outlined the interview and voting process.

City Council Executive Director Glenn Symes said state code requires the council to adopt “either an ordinance or a resolution that identifies a fair and transparent method that the municipal body will use to break a tie in a couple of situations.”

He said a roll-call vote will be taken after the completion of the interviews, which will involve candidates receiving four minutes to answer all the questions. The order of the interviews will be determined by pulling names randomly from a bowl.

Each council member’s name will be called during the first roll-call vote and they will say who they would like to fill the vacancy.

If there is not an individual who receives a majority, elimination by lot will take place to determine the top two finalists.

If two candidates have the most votes, that is the top two.

If a candidate receives the most votes but not a majority and there’s a tie for second place, the name of the second finalist will be pulled from a bowl.

If no finalists can be identified, the names of both finalists will be pulled from a bowl.

After the finalists are known, the council is anticipated to re-interview the top two candidates and there will be a second roll-call vote. The finalists would be given five minutes to answer additional questions.

Because there are seven voting members of the City Council, Symes said a majority should be reached, but if somebody does not vote and the council deadlocks, the tie is to be broken with a coin toss.

He said the city recorder would flip the coin as well as draw the lot and the chair will pull the names from the bowl to determine the order of initial interviews.
