Councilmen Running to Replace Wittnebel

Half of the Lake Park City Council has filed to be mayor.

Acting Mayor Jon Anderson and Councilman Keith Zachariasen are seeking the seat left open when Mayor Aaron Wittnebel resigned under fire last month.

The two other council members will interview the candidates this week and appoint one of them mayor at Monday’s council meeting.

Because Wittnebel had less than two years left on his term, the city is not required to hold an election.

A special election may be required to find a new councilman.
