The vacancy is due to the resigna-tion of Council Member Lee Jensen. She said the newly appointed council member will serve until December 31, 2013. In January of 2014, the newly elected council mem-ber from the November 2013 Municipal Election will take office. According to the posted notice, individuals interested in submitting their names for con-sideration must be a U.S. citizen at the time of filing, a registered voter of the municipality, a resi-dent of the municipality or a res ident of a recently annexed area for a period of 365 consecutive days immediately preceding the date of the election and not be a convicted felon. A written letter of applica-tion, which shall include name, address, telephone number, the reason for applying and a 200 word biography, should be sub-mitted to Kathy T. Kresser, City Recorder, at City Hall 70 South 100 East, Pleasant Grove Utah, 84062. Applications will be ac-cepted until 5 p.m. Thursday September 5, 2013. The city council will interview applicants at the September 10, 2013 City Council Work Session meeting. After said interviews, the council will take action to appoint, in an open meeting that same evening, an interim council member. Also, a candidate's application for this interim position does not qualify that same person for candidacy in the General Municipal Election.

I was thinking more in the two to three range. Apparently we multiplied my three with her four and added an extra for good measure. As we were consider-ing our third birth child, we made the decision to adopt. Our first adoption was domestic and he was three days old when he was placed with us. Over the next ten years, we found ourselves drawn to India and China, Haiti and Co-lombia. We adopted infants, and toddlers, and older kids that were school age. We put a lot more thought into adoption than we did to planting a garden, of course. And now that our oldest daughter is expect-ing our first grandchild, we are excited to move on to "grand"parenting. But, I've often thought about the similarities between our garden and our kids. Having a multi-ethni- c family in Utah is not unique, but it's still unusu-al. I am, at times reminded that my kids look different-ly than I do. Almost always it's done in a positive way. It's the questioning look on a clerk's face, "Is this your son?" Yes. Yes, this is my son, my daughter and my family. We all have times in our lives where we make deci-sions for us and our fami-lies but those decisions are visible to those around us. We never really know when those decisions and choices will become an example to our friends and neighbors just like my garden and my children. The challenge is to make the best decision we can and hope that the ex-ample we are showing helps others along the way. Rodney M. Bliss is an . author, blogger and IT Con-sultant.
