Upcoming Dates

Tonight a series of City Council Town Meetings will begin with with the First Ward forum at 7 p.m. in Emerson School.

Shortly the Regular Democratic Organization's slate for the June primary will be announced. The council seats up for election this year are those for the Second Ward and the First & Fourth Ward at-large. The filing deadline for all candidates is 4 p.m. April 11.

The next City Council meeting is April 4, 7:30 p.m. in City Hall Library. The regular meeting is scheduled for 8 p.m. April 11 in Municipal Court.

As Plaintalker and others have noted, the 90-day acting period for city administrator will be up by the end of March. Corporation Counsel Dan Williamson has been holding the city administrator post while James Ventantonio has been serving as acting corporation counsel. In addition, time will be up for Jacques Howard to serve as acting director of Public Works & Urban Development. The mayor need only appoint others in acting capacity if there are no permanent successors up for advice and consent of the governing body.

The school board election is April 27. Keep an eye out for various candidate forums before then. The League of Women Voters of Plainfield has scheduled its annual candidates' forum for 7 p.m. April 21 at Washington Community School.

As you can see, there is much to be revealed in coming weeks. Plaintalker will endeavor to gather the hyperlocal news as it happens.
