The Englewood City Council interviewed the top four candidates to fill the vacated At-Large seat left vacant by former councilmember Cheryl Wink on Aug. 9. After interviewing candidates Brenda Hubka, Joel Moore, PJ Kolnik and Tena Prange, discussed who would be the best fit to temporarily fill the seat, narrowing the
candidates to Moore and Kolnik. The council agreed Hubka and Prange would do well in the position but felt because they’re both members of the Englewood Planning & Zoning Commission there would be an issue when voting on CodeNext. They also agreed CodeNext is one of the biggest issues the council will work on in the next few months along with determining the city’s budget.

“I thought that both Tena Prange and Brenda Hubka did really well in their interviews but the only hesitation I have as I reflect on them is they’re obviously very familiar with CodeNext but I wonder if they’re not too familiar and if any of that would be bring some kind of conflict of interest,” District 3 Councilmember Joe Anderson said.
