Strauch joins Med Bow council

The town of Medicine Bow had a special meeting of the town council July 25 at 7 p.m. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss and decide on an appointment for the vacant council seat.

Mayor Kevin Colman, council members, Shane Blakeman, Sharon Biamon and Sharon Sullivan were present.

Colman recused himself because a family member had applied but said once the council selected a person, he would appoint their choice.

There were eight people who put in applications. The candidates were: Cindy Chace, Gary Charles, Kenda Colman, Kay Embree, Sandy Levengood, Toby Smith, Trevor Strauch and Lucia Villerreal.

The council went into executive session at 7:02 p.m. and had a decision at 7:08 p.m. Strauch was appointed to fill the seat unanimously by the council. At 7:10 p.m. the special town council meeting concluded.

The next scheduled Medicine Bow Town Council meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. August 14 at the Community Hall.
