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.
