Paddock Lake will have a contested election for village president this spring.
Filing candidacy papers for the April 2 municipal election ended today at 5 p.m.
Terry Burns and Jill Smart have filed for village president. Both currently are village trustees. As both were most recently elected to that post earlier this year, the candidate who loses the village president race will still be on the Village Board.
Incumbent Marlene Goodson filed notification of non-candidacy.
Three people filed candidacy papers for the three open trustee seats: Kathy Christenson, Gary Kaddatz and Dick Fish. Christenson is a former village trustee. Fish’s wife, Patricia, is a former trustee.
Incumbent Trustees Chris Bucko, Jake Hansen and Patricia Warner all filed non-candidacy notifications earlier.
