The council then went into closed session to discuss the selection
of a person to fill a present office.
The city of Lincoln has on its next "order of business" agenda to
vote on a recommendation to the Logan County Republican Central
Committee for Gehlbach to be a candidate for city clerk in the
general election on April 7.
The council normally meets on the first and third Monday of every
month, but because of the holiday on Monday, the next meeting will
be on Tuesday at 7:15 p.m. in City Hall chambers.
On the same evening, kitty-corner across the street in the Logan
County Courthouse, the Logan County Board will reconvene for its
adjourned session at 7. One of the matters that is expected to come
to a vote that evening would be to fill the District 6 seat that
remains open. The seat was vacated when Michael McIntosh became the
Logan County state's attorney on Dec. 1, 2008.
At the close of Thursday night's Logan County board-of-whole
meeting, board chairman Terry Carlton announced that he would be
bringing forward a name to fill that seat.
After the chairman recommends someone, it is up to the board to
vote on that person. A majority vote is needed to seat someone.
