At its regular meeting last night, the Dillingham City Council accepted Mayor Alice Rubys nomination of Dillingham resident Curt Armstrong to fill vacant Seat D. Armstrong was one of five or six residents who submitted letters of interest to the city for the council seat vacated by Keggie Tubbs. Ruby said her priorities in picking a primary nominee for the council were a person who could hit the ground running and someone who could help the city work through, quote, tough fiscal issues. Armstrong has prior council experience, and he has also spoken in favor of moving Annexation forward, which the council will next vote on at its January 15th meeting. Curt Armstrong was appointed to Council Seat D with unanimous support from the other five council members. Ruby also noted that with Tubbs resignation, councilman Tracy Hightower is now Mayor Pro Tem, as he is the current longest serving member on the council, elected to his seat in October of 2011.
