Shoreview City Council fills empty council seat

When longtime Shoreview City Council Member Terry Quigley passed away earlier this year, members of the council were tasked with choosing his replacement.After a thorough application and interview process, the council named John Doan to serve on the City Council.

“This is a short-term appointment,” Mayor Sandy Martin said at the March 21 City Council meeting. “I thought it was very important that we have someone with some planning experience who would be up to speed on some of the projects that we have coming before us in the next couple of months that are critical planning issues.”

Doan currently serves on the Planning Commission. As part of the application process, he wrote a letter of interest to the City Council.

“First, I would like to acknowledge Terry Quigley’s faithful and tireless service over the span of 50 years to our beloved community,” Doan wrote in his letter. “Terry was a pillar of good governance a

nd leadership that put the city and its residents front and center. It is humbling for me to seek this appointment to fill out Terry’s term on the council.”
