Search begins for mayor replacement

    HARLAN – With the hiring of Gene Gettys, Jr. as the community’s new city administrator, city officials say he will have to resign as mayor.
    In planning, the Harlan City Council initially voted Friday, Aug. 19 5-0 (Kolbe, Christensen, Miller, Bladt and Kroger aye; Pedersen absent) to proceed with having a special election, but also is investigating the option of appointing someone to the position to fill out the remainder of the current term.
    Gettys’ current term is up in December, 2017.
    Officials said the issue will be addressed in more detail at a future city council meeting.
