(KLZA)-- A recall petition has been served on Peru Mayor Katy Novak.
Phillip Wemhoff alleges in the petition that Novak engaged in the misappropriate handling of city funds, including wages and unneccesary purchases, inappropriate communication with the city council and city employees and has not had the community's best interest since being elected in November, 2024.
Novak has until November 12 to submit a statement in her defense to the Nemaha County Clerk's office.
Once the petition documents have been prepared, Wemhoff will have 30 days to collect 57 signatures or 35% of the total votes cast in the most recent general election.
