Running for Alpharetta City Council Will Cost $450
But that amount is just the qualifying fee that is scheduled to be set at a meeting tonight and doesn't include campaign costs.
If you were considering making a run for Alpharetta City Council, you have a little more than two months to make up your mind. The current City Council has a resolution on tonight's meeting agenda to set the qualifying and an election date for three of those seats.
Posts 1, 2 and 3 are up for election in November. Those seats are held by Donald Mitchell, Mike Kennedy and Chris Owens. Voters will pick someone to fill the full, four-year terms.
