InMaricopa.com reports  Peggy Chapados was appointed and sworn in to the Maricopa City Council Monday after a lengthy interview process of eight candidates and three rounds of voting.

When the dust settled after oral interviews and a vote for the top candidates, Chapados, a community activist, and Shawn Schlegel had garnered the most votes — Chapados had three and Schlegel had two, prompting the council to pose additional questions to the hopefuls.

Councilman Bridger Kimball countered said Chapados’ name was well-known throughout the community. She was secretary of Maricopa Seniors chairwoman of the Parks, Library and Recreation advisory board. She is a founding member of the Maricopa Police Foundation and has been president and vice president of The Villages homeowners’ association.

Schlegel, a real estate broker and 10-year resident of Maricopa, cited his experience as a publisher, business developer and founder of the Festival of Trees Rob Morrow foundation as examples of his leadership experience.

Chapados listed the general economic environment, challenges paying for maintenance and operations of future city facilities and balancing the budget for the next fiscal year.

The council vacancy was created by Alan Marchione, who resigned after a recall effort was initiated against him.
