[September 16, 2014]  LINCOLN - Chairman Robert Farmer brought forward a recommendation for a new board member to replace Andy Meister. The new board member would be Scott Schaffenacher from Mount Pulaski.

Schaffenacher said he attended college at Eastern Illinois University and he was a county employee during an election in the 1980’s. Schaffenacher said he has been employed in the past as a contract engineer for Caterpillar and he is currently between contracts. Currently, he plans on aiding friends and family during the harvest season.

“I’ve served on a church board and on different boards in college,” said Schaffenacher. “It would be an honor to serve and do anything I can to help the community.”

Farmer said he wants to see Schaffenacher take his seat this month at the Regular board meeting.

The board holds its September voting session tonight, Tuesday, Sept 16th in the first floor courtroom at the Logan County Courthouse beginning at 7 p.m.

Meister’s announced his resignation last month due to a move out of his district. His last county meeting was the Regular meeting on August 19th at which time he thanked fellow board members for teaching him the ropes and said he hoped to stay involved with community leadership in the future.
