The council will publicly interview the candidates Wednesday in a special council meeting at the Lindon City Hall, 100 N. State St., Lindon. The meeting begins at 6 p.m.

Following the interviews, the council will go into a closed-door session to discuss the candidates and choose a mayor by Feb. 1.
