SHILOH — The Village of Shiloh is seeking to fill an open council seat for the third time this year.
During a regular Village Council meeting Nov. 26, Councilwoman Lisa Mireles submitted her resignation effective Dec. 31.
Village Fiscal Officer Terri Sweeney said Mireles cited health reasons for her impending departure from council.
Shiloh is accepting letters of interest until Jan. 10 for the open seat. The term ends Jan. 1, 2026. Interested residents are instructed to submit their letter at the Municipal Building, 13 W. Main St., or call 419-896-2011 regarding any questions.
A notice has also been posted on the Village of Shiloh Facebook page.
Sweeney said the village hopes to receive some interest in the open seat, adding they felt fortunate back in May to fill two vacant seats following resignations.
After Mireles departs at the end of the year, Shiloh Village Council will consist of Marilyn Hall, Ryan Click, Brent Wagers, Kalynn Means and Christopher Rand.
Shiloh filled two vacant seats in May
Means and Rand joined Village Council back in May after being sworn in by Shiloh Mayor Paul Currier.
They filled the seats of former councilmembers Christine Donnersbach and Sharon Malone, who both resigned from council in April due to health reasons.
The seats filled by Means and Rand continue until Jan. 1, 2026.
Means previously served on council from February to November 2023. She previously told Richland Source she was pleased to return to council.
“I’m glad to be back,” she said in May. “This town just means a lot to me. I just hope all of us, as a team, can help make a difference.”
A newcomer to council, Rand previously said he’s passionate about the community he was raised in and its residents.
When he saw the village was seeking to fill two vacant seats, Rand decided he was ready to express interest.
“You see a lot of social media complaining about things and it seems like most people don’t want to be the change that they want to see,” he said in May.
“I thought, ‘I don’t want to be that person and if I want to do something I should do it.’ I’m green, but excited to be of some service to my community.”
