This year, Mayor Wayne Dougherty's seat will be on the ballot, as will those seats on council currently held by Randy Craig, John Correri and Barbara Wagner. All four were elected in May 2011.

None of the four have said publicly if they intend to run for reelection.

In the 2012 election, councilman Bill Martin was reelected, while challengers David Glenn and Joe Smith earned seats.
