Redlands Planning Commission Chairman Paul Foster has qualified to run for a City Council seat in the November election.

Foster submitted nomination papers with 30 signatures on Monday. Twenty were validated, enough to qualify for the ballot, City Clerk Sam Irwin said Wednesday.

Mayor Pat Gilbreath and Councilman Jon Harrison are up for election in November. Councilman Mick Gallagher’s term also is expiring, but he has said he won’t run again.

Gilbreath said when she was elected mayor that this would be her last term on the council, but she recently announced a change of heart.
