Deadline To Qualify For Century Council Is Noon Today

Noon today is the  deadline for candidates to qualify for three seats on the Century Town Council.

Council seats three, four and five are on the ballot in Century this year — the positions are currently held by  Hawkins, Gary Riley and Sharon Scott. Scott has announced that she is not seeking re-election.

Hawkins has qualified to run as an incumbent, and Annie Savage has prefiled for Scott’s seat. As of the close of business Thursday, no other candidates had thrown their hat into the political ring.

The qualifying fee for a Century Town Council seat is $48 — that’s $33 for one percent of the salary and a $15 qualifying fee.  There is no petition qualification method for Century offices that would allow a candidate to qualify with voter signatures.

NorthEscambia.com will publish a final, complete Century candidate list once it is available.

The primary election for Century’s council is scheduled for October 5. The charter states that the primary election should be 30 days prior to the November election, but that date falls on Sunday, October 10. As a result, the date was  moved to October 5. Per Florida statute, registration books will close on September 7 because September 6th is Labor Day.

The general election/runoff is scheduled for November 9, the second Tuesday in November. Registration books will close on October 11.

There will be one change for candidates this year for Century’s council. The Council has approved an ordinance that will require candidates to file their campaign finance disclosure statements electronically on the Internet as is done in other races in the county — as opposed to filling out a paper form.

Hot Weekend: Heat Index Climbing To 110

Unseasonably hot temperatures are expected for Friday and into the weekend, according to the National Weather Service.

High pressure and a hot air mass will continue to dominate our weather into the weekend. With high humidity, heat index values are expected to rise to 103 to 107 on Thursday and 106 to 110 on Friday.

This heat will taper off somewhat Saturday and Sunday over the area as an upper trough starts to form over the eastern Seaboard.
