No challengers filed to run for a seat on the Maplewood City Council, leaving three incumbents without opposition on the April 2011 ballot.

First Ward Councilwoman Karen Wood, Second Ward Councilman Tim Dunn and Third Ward Councilman Barry Greenberg—all incumbents in their respective wards—filed for reelection. Today was the deadline to file.

"When things are running smoothly, you'll find less interest ... in a municipal election," City Manager Marty Corcoran said. He said more people want to run for office when they disagree with their councilperson.

Wood was first elected in 2003 and is seeking her third term in the First Ward. The First Ward, which stretches from Hanley Road to Big Bend Boulevard, is the largest ward geographically.

Dunn was first elected to a two-year term in 1993 when he filled the seat vacated by Jane Moeller, who left her post as a councilwoman after she was elected mayor. He's served four full terms on top of the two-year term in the Second Ward. The Second Ward encompasses the northeast region of the city, which includes a large residential area and parts of downtown.

Greenberg was first elected in 2003 and is seeking his third term as Third Ward Councilman. The Third Ward covers most of downtown Maplewood and the southeastern section of the city.

Maplewood's municipal election is scheduled for April 5, 2011. At this time, neither the city or the Maplewood Richmond Heights School District have placed anything else on the ballot.
