Sieffert was appointed by the board to fulfill the remaining term for former board member Mark Bloom, who resigned after serving two years.

Board members are elected to four year terms, and every two years, either three or four seats come open.

The filing period begins 8 a.m. on Monday, December 17 and ends on Wednesday, December 26 at 5 p.m.
