The Mayor and Council will hold interviews during the first week of March with candidates who applied to fill a vacant seat on Rockville’s council. Twenty-two people applied.
Candidate interviews will be held 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, March 2 and 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 5.
The interviews will be conducted in the Mayor and Council chambers at City Hall, 111 Maryland Ave.
Candidates were required to submit a narrative of their relevant experience and background, a statement of their priorities and vision for the city, and a financial disclosure statement. Submissions (excepting financial disclosures) are available to view at www.rockvillemd.gov/councilvacancy.
The vacancy was created following the election of Julie Palakovich Carr to the Maryland House of Delegates to represent District 17, which includes Rockville. The candidate selected will serve the remainder of that term. The next Mayor and Council election for all five seats on the body will be held Tuesday, Nov. 5.
All qualifying applicants will be interviewed in open session, televised on channel 11, and livestreamed at www.rockvillemd.gov/rockville11 (select “Live video streaming” under “Watch Rockville 11 Programming.”)
Video of the interviews will be available the next day at www.rockvillemd.gov/videoondemand.
