A familiar face will return to Port Huron City Council. Domingo “Rico” Ruiz has been named to fill a vacancy on the council. Of the nine candidates who applied to fill the vacancy left by Lisa Beedon, Ruiz received the highest amount of votes. Beedon resigned from the council at the end of last year following her election to the St. Clair County Board of Commissioners. Ruiz served most recently on City Council in 2018 and chose not to run for re-election. His partial term will expire in 2022.
ORIGINAL STORY:
Port Huron City Council meets tonight in a special session meeting to name a new council person. Lisa Beedon resigned from Port Huron City Council at the end of last year following her election to the St. Clair County Board of Commissioners. Since none of the other candidates received 25-percent or more of the vote, council will need to appoint someone to fulfill the remainder of Beedon’s term. Nine individuals are seeking appointment to the council tonight, including several newcomers as well as former candidates and even former council members. The meeting will be held remotely via zoom starting at 6pm, with a link available at www.porthuron.org.
