HORACE The fast-growing town of Horace is continuing to work on special assessment changes after a tumultuous year during which residents took issue with rising taxes and recalled two City Council members.
After a special Horace City Council meeting about special assessment issues Wednesday night, July 28, Mayor Kory Peterson said the biggest complaint last year was that town property owners each received a special assessment averaging about $460 to pay for the new roundabout on 76th Avenue next to the new middle school and a high school that is under construction.
HORACE, N.D. (KFGO) – Two Horace City Council members lost their seats in Tuesday’s recall election.
Unofficial results show 35-year old Naomi Burkland and 45-year old Jeffrey Trudeau will fill the positions. Both will serve the remainder of each seat’s four-year term ending in 2024. The Horace City Council is comprised of four council seats in addition to the mayor.
Both member-elects will be sworn in at the next City Council meeting next Monday.
Burkland, Trudeau, and a third candidate, Zachariah Lee challenged council members, David Fenelon and Bryan Schmidt. A citizens committee gathered the signatures required to call for the recall election. They were upset with rising taxes and special assessments and said residents didn’t have a voice in recent city decisions in the fast-growing community.
