TO RUN FOR AN OPEN BUSINESS SEAT: You must be the owner/operator (or their designee) of a business physically located at a real property address in an Uptown neighborhood that maintains regular business hours and is publicly accessible. You must attach to your candidate application a business tax certificate (or similar official document) to confirm your eligibility.

You can designate someone else to represent your business. With their candidate application (in addition to the eligibility document in your name), they must provide a document, signed by you, confirming that you designate them.

You must also identify the Uptown neighborhood in which your business is located, because of the five business seats on the board, only two may be from the same neighborhood. Should election results lead to more than two business members from a single neighborhood on the board, the business with the lowest vote total would be eliminated.

TO RUN FOR AN OPEN NON-PROFIT SEAT: You must be the owner/operator (or their designee) of a non-profit either physically located at a real property address in an Uptown neighborhood or, if your non-profit has no office, that regularly holds publicly accessible meetings in Uptown at least semi-annually. You must attach to your candidate application both a business tax certificate (or similar official document) and a founding document (or related official document) to confirm your eligibility.

You can designate someone else to represent your non-profit. With their candidate application (in addition to the eligibility document in your name), they must provide a document, signed by you, confirming that you designate them.
