A former commissioner is appointed to fill the vacant seat left by Justin Doane, who stepped down after last meeting.  The Coffeyville City Commission has appointed Pam Jones to fill that seat. Mayor Ann Marie Vannoster says they had 60 days to fill this position.

Vannoster says they wanted someone who had experience, was in tune with the budget practices and understood what projects were going on in the city.  Jones will finish the remainder of Doane's term and then be done in January and the newly elected commissioner will take that seat.
