Any takers?

The only two candidates on the ballot are incumbents and nobody has even applied to run for the third spot. The deadline for write-in candidates is Tuesday.

''All they need is one vote and they'll be elected,'' said Sherma Mildon, the city's clerk/recorder.

Candidates must be at least 18 years old, a Uintah resident and a registered voter. Applicants can apply for free, but must do so in person. So far, nobody has.

Council members Gary Laird and Charles Thorsted are running unopposed for re-election. Thorsted said job security aside, it would be nice if there was more interest in local government in the Weber County community.

''Even though I'm running unopposed, I don't think it would be a bad thing to have some more competition,'' Thorsted said. ''Overall, I'd like to see people get a little more involved in their community. It's a little discouraging.''

Uintah sent out a newsletter in September informing residents about the lack of candidates. Instructions on how to file as a write-in candidate were included.
