14 apply for Beavercreek council seat
BEAVERCREEK — Apparently having a seat on Beavercreek City Council is something aspired to by many.
Council Clerk Christine Bucheit received 14 applications by the Dec. 31 deadline to replace Councilman Jarrod Martin who has resigned after winning state office.
Martin was sworn in locally by Greene County Common Pleas Court Judge Stephen A. Wolaver Jan. 2. He will take his seat in the Ohio General Assembly as a state legislator representing Beavercreek later this month.
Beavercreek is becoming known for large fields of candidates for open seats on city council. In November 2007, 11 people ran for the four open seats on council in one of the city’s largest fields. Now 14 people are asking to be appointed to council. Clerk Bucheit said the last time council members had to appoint someone to a seat there were less than 10 applicants.
Former members of the board as well as candidates have applied for Martin’s seat. Council has 60 days from Dec. 31, when Martin’s resignation became official, to appoint someone.
Candidates are:
• David Brandenburg, a business representative with IAM and AW unions. • Antonio Corvo, cofounder of Keep Beavercreek Affordable political action committee. • Jason K. Head, sales specialist for Cox Ohio Publishing, which owns Dayton Daily News. • Brian V. Jarvis, Beavercreek Wetlands Association member and manager at Northrop Grumman Corp. • Francis R. LaSota Jr., the owner of a IT business. • Eric Marcus, Beavercreek Rotary president, former council candidate. • John R, Mitchel, former gubernatorial and congressional candidate. • Amol Soin, doctor and former Stark County Health Commission researcher. • Deborah L. Wallace, financial consultant and 2007 council candidate. • Farris L. Welsh, former city council member and regional planner. • Steven Wical, senior contracts, acquisitions and procurement manager. • Bob Wortham, planning commissioner and retired teacher.
