Wayne Farinacci and Jeff Likover each had 20 minutes to prove they could be the right man to fill a vacancy left by Mayor Anthony DiCicco, who replaced Greg Costabile in December.

Farinacci is president of the Mayfield Alumni Association, director of the popular Cleveland International Challenge Cup Bocce Tournament and a former Mayfield High School associate principal. This potential appointment marks the third city council bid for Likover, whose life outside of politics includes everything from a long career at Parker Hannifin to limousine driving.

Each member of council took turns asking questions and follow-ups when needed. Farinacci interviewed via telephone from Hilton Head, S.C.

Here is a sample of the questions and answers from Farinacci and Likover's interviews.
