(KLZA)-- The Nemaha Natural Resources District is still looking for someone to fill a couple of vacancies on its board of directors. One position in Falls City and one position in Nebraska City are vacant since no one ran for the jobs during the November, 2014, general election.
The NRD’s board of directors will accept written applications from interested, potential directors. Applicants must be registered voters who also meet all other eligibility requirements for holding an elected office. They must also reside within the appropriate boundaries of the position sought. Both positions are two-year terms. Twenty-one members serve on the Nemaha NRD board and represent 10 sub-districts, two directors per subdistrict, who are elected in alternating election years. One member of the board is elected at-large from throughout the entire District.
In Falls City the vacancy is in Subdistrict 10, which encompasses all of Falls City but no rural areas. This position was most recently held by Bruce Walker, who chose not to run in this year’s election. Also representing Subdistrict 10 is Jim Gerweck, who was reappointed at the January meeting to fill out the remainder of this term.
In Nebraska City the position available is in Subdistrict 4, which was previously represented by John Albrecht until his death in September left that spot vacant. It includes a portion of southern and eastern Nebraska City as well as the rural area in McWilliams precinct and the towns of Talmage and Lorton. Dan Hodges is the other director in Subdistrict 4.
Nemaha NRD board meetings are held in Tecumseh on the second Thursday of each month, generally in the evening. Board members are eligible to receive $65 per diem and reimbursement of mileage and other expenses incurred while conducting NRD business.
Individuals interested in these positions should address a letter requesting appointment to the Nemaha NRD Board of Directors, 62161 Hwy 136, Tecumseh NE 68450, no later than Wednesday, February 11, for consideration at the board’s regular monthly meeting on February 12. For more information, contact the NRD at (402) 335-3325.
