As a result of the resignation of a member, the Representative Town Meeting's District 5 will be filling a vacancy at its next meeting.

District 5 is Riverside south of the Post Road. Serving on the RTM allows interested citizens to have an influence on town government by voting on the budget, appointments to boards and committees, ordinances and other items which come before the RTM.

Interested candidates should place their names on the ballot for the November 8 election for the term beginning in January 2012.

The deadline for petition candidates falls on the same day as the District 5 meeting which is Thursday, September 15. Petition candidates must gather signatures from a minimum of 25 registered voters in their district and submit the list to the Town Clerk's office along with a required form by 4 p.m.

Information on running for the RTM and the required form can be found on the town's web site at www.greenwichct.org.

Any registered voter in District 5 who is interested in filling the vacancy should contact Laura Erickson at 203-698-3267 or via email at LErick67@gmail.com or Mary Ferry at 203-637-9385 for more information and should plan to attend the District 5 meeting on Thursday, September 15, at the Riverside Elementary School Media Center at 8 p.m.

In addition to the immediate vacancy, RTM District 5 has several open slots on the November ballot. We encourage interested citizens to run in the next election by following the petition process.
