LINCOLN
At the
Logan County Board Workshop on Thursday, December 14, Gerald Lolling
was recognized for serving 40 years on the Logan County Regional
Planning Commission.
Logan County Highway Engineer Bret Aukamp read the resolution
recognizing Lolling for his years of service.
With his retirement Lolling's "distinguished career" is now ending.
Gerald Lolling was appointed to the Regional Planning Commission in
1977. He had a rural background and hailed from western Logan
County.
The resolution said Lolling "tried hard and succeeded in
representing all the people in our community, rural and urban," and
he "quickly gained a reputation as an advocate for growth and worked
tirelessly to balance such growth with farming compatibility."

Lolling also "gained a reputation as one of the RPC's most reliable
members, rarely missing a meeting even in the most inclement of
weather."
The resolution said Lolling "started his public career when spikes
defined property lines and most agreements, especially with the
rural populace, required no more than a handshake."
Lolling, "continued to contribute to the RPC as issues evolved
involving new forms of energy, specialty crops, subdivision
expansion, GPS and the world wide web and cloud.
"Through all the changes and evolutions through those four decades,
Gerald has remained dedicated, knowledgeable, highly capable and a
true gentleman; expressing everything good and noble in public
service.

well-deserved retirement."
The board gave a round of applause for Lolling. Lolling thanked them for the
recognition and said he enjoyed his years on the Regional Planning Commission.

The board will approve the resolution at Tuesday's Regular Board meeting.
