West Manatee Fire Rescue’s commission will remain as-is — at least until 2018.
At the close of candidate qualifying June 24, the incumbents, Commissioners Larry Jennis and Randy Cooper, were the only candidates who qualified for the Nov. 8 election.
Without challengers for their seats, both commissioners are automatically re-elected for an additional four-year term.
The next time seats will come up for election on WMFR’s commission will be in 2018, when Commissioners David Bishop, George Harris and Al Robinson will be up for re-election.
