Seat likely to be filled by appointment

Fort Dodge City Council members appear to be poised to use an appointment process to replace Councilman Neven Conrad.

Conard is resigning Oct. 11 to become the magistrate for Humboldt County.

He was re-elected to a four-year term in 2019. He is resigning with a little more than a year left on that term.

Conrad said the council will appoint a seven-member commission tasked with recommending some potential appointees.

That commission would hold a public hearing and submit three to five names to the council. The council would then pick one of those individuals to serve the remainder of Conrad’s term.
