The seat became vacant with the resignation of Jammin’ Java owner Brandon Karn.
Applicants should be an owner or manager of a local hotel, motel, or restaurant, be a registered voter and a Fayetteville resident.
Applications are available on the city’s website or may be picked up at the Fayetteville Visitor Center on the downtown square. Deadline for applications is 5 p.m. Friday, Aug. 3, 2012.
