Mayor appoints Joyce Schneider to Hunter council
Summary
Mayor Brad Nitsch appointed Joyce Schneider to the City of Hunter council at a Nov. 8 special meeting called after two council members died; the remaining council members voted to confirm the appointment. A guest who sought the seat was told to run in next year’s election.
Mayor Brad Nitsch appointed Joyce Schneider to the City of Hunter council at a special meeting Nov. 8, filling a vacancy created after two council members died in recent months. The appointment was made by motion and approved by the two remaining council members present.
The meeting, held at the Hunter City Building, was convened specifically so the mayor could make an appointment after the clerk provided a written request and cited League of Municipalities guidance on the necessary procedure. City Clerk Laura Pahls recorded that the remaining council members needed to request a special meeting; the clerk stated the request was on file.
During the appointment item, Mayor Brad Nitsch nominated Joyce Schneider. Council Member Ashley Schneider moved to appoint Joyce Schneider, and Council Member Chad Hauser seconded. The motion carried and Joyce Schneider was named to the council. The transcript records that the motion "carried" but does not provide a roll-call tally beyond the two members present.
Guest Ruth Roberts asked to be considered for the council seat; Mayor Nitsch told Roberts she should seek the position on the ballot in next November’s regular election. The meeting then concluded after a motion to adjourn by Council Member Chad Hauser, seconded by Council Member Ashley Schneider.
The transcript does not record an oath of office, a term length for the appointee, or any additional administrative steps; those details were not specified.
