Naples City has gone through the application and interview process and selected a new council member. A vacancy was created when Dennis Long tragically passed away last month. He had served for 17 years as a Naples City Councilman. Naples City shared that “Dennis cheerfully served the community with a listening ear and a smiling face” and offered their appreciation “for his dedication and service.” Naples City accepted applications from those Naples residents interested in filling the vacancy and then interviewed the applicants during the January 12th City Council meeting. They selected Ross Morton as the new City Council member. He will be sworn in at the beginning of the January 26th Naples City Council meeting.
