The Bingen City Council has been trying to fill an open seat for over a year, and now they will be looking to fill a second. Mayor Betty Barnes says they have had a couple of people show interest in serving on the Council, but no one has formally applied. Barnes adds with Dan Armstrong having informed the Council he is stepping away from the panel in March, the need becomes greater, noting two open seats leaves a bare minimum to vote on various issues. Bingen City Council meetings take place the first and third Tuesdays of each month at 7 p.m. For information on how to apply for one of the vacancies, call Bingen City Hall at 509-493-2122.
