Bowdle election petitions filed; Maier announces intention to resign, leaving appointments needed
Summary
The council recorded petitions for mayor and council seats for 2025 and heard that Councilmember Russ Maier will resign and withdraw his petition, which means no election is required and several one-year seats will be filled by appointment.
The City of Bowdle recorded petitions submitted for 2025: Rick Boschee for mayor (two-year term), council petitions for Darryn Barnhardt (two-year), Mike Gunderson (two-year), Dennis Schock (initially listed as one-year), and Russ Maier (two-year). During the meeting Russ Maier announced he will resign after his current term and will withdraw his petition for 2025; because of that announcement Dennis Schock’s term as listed in the petition will become a two-year term and there will be three one-year positions that the council must fill by appointment. The minutes state that no election is required.
The council also reviewed utility-billing payment options and discussed potential crop-damage reimbursement for leased land tied to future infrastructure work, deciding to defer compensation until impacts are known. Notices included the District 6 meeting on March 18 and the Board of Equalization meeting on March 17; the next regular council meeting was set for April 7, 2025.
