Holiday Island council declares vacancy

Posted

The Holiday Island City Council has a vacancy.

At a special meeting held Thursday, Jan. 2, the council declared the Ward 3, Position 1 seat vacant after the resignation of Pat Elwood, effective Dec. 31. Ward 3 encompasses the easternmost portion of the city.

“Arkansas State Law and Holiday Island City Code require that a candidate be a U.S. citizen, a registered voter of Carroll County, Arkansas, and a resident in Ward 3,” Mayor Dan Kees wrote on the city’s website. “This is a non-partisan position.”

Applications for the seat will be accepted until Monday, Jan. 20, with the council expected to make a decision the following day, at its regular meeting at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 21.

“Please submit a letter stating your interest in serving the Holiday Island community to contact @ cityofholidayisland.com, or drop it off at the city office at 5 Forest Park Drive,” Kees wrote. “Please include your name, phone number, and physical address. You may also mail your letter to: City Clerk’s Office, P.O. Box 3099, Holiday Island, AR 72631.”

Each applicant will be contacted before the Jan. 21 meeting, Kees said.

“If possible, you should plan on attending the January 21st City Council meeting when the position will be filled,” he wrote.

The vacant seat’s term will end Dec. 31, 2026.
