FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Dr. Alice Hulbert named to Edina City Council
Edina, Minn., March 2, 2005 – Alice Hulbert was sworn in Tuesday, March 1, as the newest
member of the Edina City Council.
With his recent election as Mayor, James Hovland vacated his seat on the City Council mid-term.
The Council in January voted to appoint someone to fill the remainder of the term, rather than hold
a special election. Sixteen people applied for the position before the posted deadline in January.
After the candidates were thoroughly interviewed, Hulbert was appointed to the two-year term at a
special meeting of the City Council Feb. 24.
"Alice Hulbert was an outstanding candidate for the City Council in the last General Election and we
are pleased to have her join us as a colleague for the balance of my unexpired council term,” said
Hovland upon Hulbert’s appointment. “Alice is smart, articulate, thoughtful and cares deeply about
our community -- all qualities which will serve our citizenry well as we deal with a variety of complex
issues in the near future."
Hulbert is not a stranger to City Hall. She has served as a member of the Edina Park Board, an
advisory group to the City Council. Her community involvement has included work with the Edina
Girls Athletic Association, Adaptive Recreation & Learning Exchange, Hennepin County Medical
Society and Arc Minnesota.
“I have been a resident of Edina for 22 years and a long-term recipient of all of the excellent
opportunities that come from living in this community,” said Hulbert, who is a licensed
anesthesiologist. “This is a point in my life when I have the ability to contribute and serve the City.
The City Council is a great group of people with whom I look forward to working.”
