Monday, Aug. 5, deadline to apply for open Galion Ward 4 council vacancy; member resigned

Galion City Council has a vacancy after a member representing the city’s Ward 4 resigned recently.

In a post on social media, Carrie Zeger, who was elected in 2021 , cited frustration with the challenges of serving on the council and the demanding nature of the role as her reasons for stepping down.

“Per Ohio Revised Code, council has 30 days to fill the vacant seat,” Echelberry said.
