Pawnee City Council accepts resignation; mayor to nominate replacement for two-year term
Summary
The Pawnee City Council unanimously accepted Council Member Vickie Zelenka’s resignation and directed that the vacancy be publicly posted; the mayor will nominate a qualified elector within four weeks to serve the remaining two years of the term.
The Pawnee City Council on June 8 unanimously accepted the letter of resignation from Council Member Vickie Zelenka.
Council Member Susan Eisenhauer moved to accept the resignation and Council Member Donnie Fisher seconded; a roll call vote showed all present voting in favor. Mayor Charlie Hatfield will publish or post notice in three public places that the office has been vacated and must submit the name of a qualified elector to fill the vacancy within four weeks for the balance of the unexpired two-year term.
City Clerk/Treasurer Tamela S. Curtis told the council that interested residents may pick up an application at the City Office; the vacancy will be placed on the July 13 council meeting agenda for council action on the mayor’s recommendation.
The action was procedural: no appointment was made at the June 8 meeting and the council did not debate qualifications beyond directing standard posting and application procedures. The timeline for selecting a replacement follows state statutory vacancy procedures described in the meeting record.
