A petition to recall Fremont City Council President Mark Legband has been filed at the Dodge County Election Commission office.
The petition was filed by Fremont resident Rachel Tuff on April 16 to replace the Ward 1 council member. Legband has had a seat on the Fremont City Council since 2014.
In a statement regarding the reason for the recall, Tuff alleged Legband âfailed to adequately fulfill the duties set forth in his oath of office and the provisions of the Fremont Municipal Code that require a council member to protect the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community.â
In the petition, Tuff also alleged Legband was âdisrespectfulâ toward other council members.
For the second time in two meetings, a proposal to expand the floor area ratio in Fremontâs Tech Park has failed to move past first reading after homeowners and councilmembers raised concerns about the reliability of an updated 2013 drainage study.
The ordinance was tabled on a 6-2 vote following a motion introduced by Councilmember Brad Yerger and seconded by Councilmember Glen Ellis.
The proposal, which was first introduced during councilâs March 30 meeting, would increase the allowable floor area ratio in the Business Park district for single-story structures, two-story structures and three-story structures.
The increase would allow for larger building footprints while keeping setbacks and building height requirements the same.
