The Algoma Common Council will become whole again Monday when it decides between three candidates for the seat vacated by Dawn Kidd in District 4.

Lee Dachelet, Jake Maring and Jamie Stangel all submitted letters of interest for the open seat on the council. Dachelet and Maring are both former District 4 alderpersons, with Maring falling just short against Kidd in the last election.

Alderperson Scott Meverden expressed support for Maring in correspondence to City Administrator Matt Murphy before knowing Stangel was a candidate. While he believes Dachelet and Maring would make good alderpersons, Meverden wrote that Maring should be chosen because “he ran and earned votes for the vacant spot,” adding that his opinion would be the same if Dachelet had been the one who ran.

“If we were talking about a different alder/mayor position with different names, my opinion would remain the same,” he wrote.

The council will also look to approve a final plat for Mary Min Acres, an E-Plan building plan review contract, and a quote from Algoma Utilities for a primary extension to the site of the new fire station when it meets Monday at 5 p.m.
