mayor in 1997
by Lisa Mathews
District 3 Councilmember Stevan Colin made a surprise public announcement at Saturday's Charter Review Committee meeting that he intends to run for the office of mayor in the March 1997 municipal election.
"I think you all know that I've already made the decision to run for mayor in 1997," Colin said to the committee in his comments about the elected office of city attorney.
Colin, whose second term in the District 3 seat expires in 1995 and is not eligible to run for a council position again under the city's two-term limit provision, confirmed the rumor that he has set his sights on becoming the city's next mayor.
The office of mayor, held by W. Brad Parton since 1989, will become available after Parton's term because he is also prohibited under the charter from holding the office more than two terms. Parton, however, would be eligible to run for a council position.
Colin has represented District 3 since 1988.
