Eagle Mtn: New City Councilman

After more than two hours of interviewing candidates, Jon Celaya took his place on the Eagle Mountain City Council Tuesday night.

The council voted to appoint Celaya to fill the remainder of Eric Cieslak’s term on the council, which expires at the end of 2011. Cieslak resigned in August to take a job in Chicago.

Mayor Heather Jackson said Celaya’s experience in the northwestern Utah County city made him stand out from the 16 candidates vying for Cieslak’s seat.-SLTrib
