SAGINAW, MI — The Saginaw City Council is complete again.

The council appointed Tobias Young, a General Motors electrician and business owner, to the vacant seat on the city’s 9-member board.

During a Monday, Sept. 22, meeting, Young received the five council votes necessary to clinch the seat vacated when Monique Lamar-Silvia was removed from the group last month.

Young took an oath of office to join the council immediately after his victory.

The council vote came down to two of nine candidates who were interviewed for the position during the Monday public gathering.

Council members Michael Balls, Eric Braddock Sr., Priscilla Garcia, Carly Rose Hammond and Bill Ostash voted for Young.

The runner-up, Carla Lamarr, received four votes, falling one nod short of clinching the seat.
