Candidates for City Council were determined Wednesday.

The original deadline for submitting nomination papers for Claremont was Dec. 5.

But state laws say if an incumbent does not file for re-election, the filing period is extended for three business days.

A seat on the council became open when Mayor Ellen Taylor announced she would not seek re-election.

Incumbent Corey Calaycay's seat is also being contested.

Calaycay, former assistant city manager Bridget Healy and Larry Schroeder, a former finance director for the city of Lakewood, had turned in their nomination papers Wednesday.
