MARQUETTE, MI— The Marquette City Commission has a new member.
At its meeting Monday night, the commission unanimously voted to fill a vacant seat with Michael Larson. Larson most recently served as the vice chair of the Marquette City Planning Commission.
Seven people applied for the seat. Commissioner Jessica Hanley said the fact that so many applications were submitted was a good problem to have.
“The problem of having too many good candidates is never a bad thing. It means we have many people that want to serve our city, and we’re lucky to have that,” she said.
The open spot on the commission was created by the resignation of Commissioner Evan Bonsall, who moved from the area.
