Landis Bayless was recently appointed to fill the unexpired term for Place IV on the Fairfield City Council.
Also submitting resumes for the position were Veronica Miller, Jack Wright, Kevin Childers, Justin Turner and Robert Earl Burns.
The candidacy of Veronica Miller was initially put forth by Councilman Kenny Hughes, but his motion died for lack of a second.
Councilman Joe Lee Kirgan, Jr. made the motion to appoint Bayless, which was seconded by Councilman Robert Johnson.  When the vote was called, Kirgan and Johnson voted in favor, Hughes voted against, and Councilman David Steward abstained.
Bayless is expected to be sworn in as Councilman prior to the next City Council meeting.
