    HUNTERS HOLLOW - The Hunters Hollow City Commission will meet again in January, in a roundabout process sort of way.

    Council member Ronnie Parker was sworn in by city attorney Mark Edison during the council’s December meeting.

    Parker was the only Hunters Hollow candidate on the November 2008 ballot, receiving 70 votes.

    Edison said write-in votes for other candidates, including current council members, were not included in final totals because the city did not pay a $50 fee to the county clerk’s office.
