(KMZA)--The write-in winner for a position on the Seneca City Council has turned down the position.
The City Council was notified Wednesday evening that Kerry Bramhall has declined to accept the 1st Ward Council seat, which is currently held by Bruce Hermesch who didn’t seek re-election.
Bramhall’s name was drawn from a hat by the Nemaha County Commission last month to break a five-way tie for the position from the November 7th election.
The Council discussed contacting the other write-in candidates to see if they would be interested. They include Kylie Luckeroth, Mary Baker, Ray Shinn, who already holds a seat on the Council, and Hermesch.
If none of the candidates are interested, the Council will then advertise for applicants from the 1st Ward.
The Council would then appoint someone to the seat, which opens in January.
