A total of 18 applicants are finalists for two open seats on the Columbus City Council.

Today, the five remaining council members, Andrew J. Ginther, Hearcel F. Craig, Priscilla R. Tyson, Troy A. Miller and Eileen Y. Paley each chose four applicants to be interviewed for the appointments. Two applicants -Kevin L. Boyce and Michelle M. Mills - were on the lists of two council members.
