CRESTVIEW — No one was appointed as the new city attorney during a special meeting Thursday evening to interview, and possibly select, one of four applicants.
The City Council deadlocked 2-2 on appointing former city attorney Ben Holley. A motion to appoint North Okaloosa Fire District attorney Jonathon Holloway failed for lack of a second.
City Clerk Betsy Roy said the matter will return before the council at its regular Sept. 14 meeting.
“We’ll see what the options are then,” Roy said.
Current attorney Jerry Miller — who represents the city under a contract that expires Sept. 28 — has not applied to continue in the position.
