Deadline extended for city council vacancy
October 1, 2022 - In light of Hurricane Ian disrupting St. Petersburg City Government operations, the deadline to apply for the vacant city council District 7 seat has been extended. The district was vacated following former Councilmember Lisa Wheeler-Bowman’s abrupt resignation Sept. 14 and spans a large portion of South St. Petersburg. The new deadline to submit required documentation is by 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 7. Applicants must deliver submissions in person to the City Clerk’s Office located in City Hall, at 175 5th St. N. in St. Petersburg. For eligibility requirements, process information and further details, visit the website here. Residents can also submit questions for candidates until that date through a form on the website.
