Three candidates will vie for the vacated Nevada City Council seat this November.

Amy Cobden, Catalina Llanos, and Gary Peterson will be on the ballot to fill the position left open by Reinette Senum’s resignation last month.

As of Friday, Tom Ivy filed as a candidate for the Grass Valley City Council, joining incumbent council member Jan Arbuckle and newcomer Bob Branstrom on the ballot. The deadline to file candidacy for the three Grass Valley City Council seats up for grabs in November has been extended to 5 p.m. Wednesday because incumbent council members Lisa Swarthout and Howard Levine did not file for reelection.

Several candidates filed for Truckee Town Council, though none of the incumbents did, meaning that deadline will extend to next Wednesday as well.

Only Jan Zabriskie declared for the two-year seat. Candidates for two four-year seats include: Frank Bernhard, Marcy Dolan, Brody Dwyer, Jack Forbes, Courtney Henderson, John Hoekman, Lindsay Romack and Nicholas Sielchan.

Truckee officials emphasized that not all the candidates’ paperwork has been vetted, a process expected to take several days. The top two vote-getters for the four-year seats will become council members.

Incumbent W. Scott Miller will face challenger Karen Hull for the Nevada Irrigation District Division 3 seat. Rich Johansen and John Norton will vie for the Division 5 seat left open after incumbent Nick Wilcox announced he would not seek reelection.
