Eight Seek Holbrook City Council Seats
Eight people filed nomination packets for Holbrook's three spring council seats but none submitted a complete set. City Manager Joe Pennington said an emergency ordinance would extend the primary deadline by one week to March 24 for those who submitted incorrect papers, while the general election remains April 21. If approved, the ordinance becomes standing policy for future similar situations.
