PINSON, Ala.–The City of Pinson is now accepting applications from the public to fill a vacancy on the Pinson City Council following the passing of Mayor Joe Cochran on Sept. 20.
Earlier this month, Councilor Robbie Roberts was sworn in as the city’s new mayor, leaving his seat on the council vacant.
The term of the council seat will last from the date of appointment until the next local election in November 2025.
Applicants must be at least 18 years of age, reside within the corporate limits of the City of Pinson, and be registered to vote in Pinson at the time the application is received.
After applications have been submitted, the city council will interview the candidates for the seat, which will be filled by appointment.
Anyone interested in applying can submit a cover letter and resume to City Clerk Marie Turner in person, by mail, or by email at mturner@thecityofpinson.com.
The deadline to submit applications is Nov. 4 at 4 p.m.
