Incumbent Wayne Hasek of 1612 N. Park St. and Terry Anderson of 1410 Lucia Ave. filed for the Ward 4 seat.

Jay Maynard of 1831 Oakwood Ave. filed for the at-large council position.

Filing for council must be completed at the city clerk’s office at City Hall. Candidates must pay a $5 filing fee and fill out an affidavit of candidacy. The clerk’s office is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays, and until 5 p.m. Aug. 11, the last day to file.

There is no primary election for council races. All who file will be on the Nov. 3 ballot.
