Daniel Dingman, appointed to fill vacated Battle Ground City Council Position No. 3, took his official oath of office during the Battle Ground City Council meeting Thursday (June 15).

The city received applications from four residents interested in the temporary term, which were evaluated at a special meeting held on June 12, during a closed-door executive session. Three applicants were selected to move forward to interview during the June 15 City Council meeting, after which the City Council conferred before making the appointment.
