With four positions up for re-election on the Caledonia City Council, and three on the Caledonia Area School Board, the next two weeks could prove interesting for local politics. Filings for the open positions began Tuesday, Aug. 26 and will close Sept. 9.
For city council, the two-year mayor’s term, held by Mike Morey, a two-year council term held by Peggy Perry, and four-year council terms held by Gary Klug and Bob Standish are up for re-election.
Three four-year terms are up for re-election on the school board. Those terms are currently held by John Klug, Joyce Knutson and Jean Meyer.
Persons wishing to file for city council can do so at city hall. Those wishing to file for school board can do so at the office of the school district clerk. A $2 filing fee must be paid prior to 5 p.m. on Sept. 9.
The general election will be held on Tuesday, November 4. At that election three members will be elected to the school board for terms of four years each.
