Melissa Muschick, a 2003 graduate of Nevada High School and Director of Partner and Business Development for Discover Ames, was selected by a review committee for appointment to the open Ward 2 Council seat.
The review committee included several current City Council representatives and several community representatives. Councilwoman Sandy Ehrig headed the committee and explained during the council meeting that they had three excellent and qualified candidates for the seat. They asked each candidate the same 10 questions, and each committee member scored those answers and the applications.
Muschick shared in her application that her personal motivation for serving on the City Council is this: “I love my community, and I see such a good progression in the past four years. There is so much good happening, and I want to help.”
Muschick will be officially sworn in ahead of the next council meeting and fill the vacant seat until the next election.
