Vacancy filled on Horton City Commission

(KNZA)--A vacancy has been filled on the Horton City Commission.

City Clerk Kim Knudson tells MSC News that the Commission Monday evening approved the appointment of Bobby Bacon to fill the vacancy created by the recent resignation of Park’s and Recreation Commissioner Jeremy Forkenbrock, which was accepted during a June 25th special meeting.

Bacon will fill the remainder of Forkenbrock’s term, which expires in January 2020. The position is up for election in November 2019.

Bacon took his seat on the Commission after being sworn in by Knudson.

Bacon was among four candidates who submitted letters of interest in filling the position. The other three candidates were Tina Nigh, Avery Thornton and Charles May.

Knudson says the Commission took no action on filling the interim city administrator position. She said a couple of applications have been received so far.

Police Chief John Calhoon will continue to serve as interim administrator until a permanent replacement is appointed.

The administrator position became vacant following a 3-2 vote of the Commission June 18th that removed Knudson from that role, while retaining her as city clerk.
