Sheldon, Iowa The Sheldon City Council has approved a special election for the Second Ward council seat formerly held by Shawn Broesder. It’ll be Tuesday, June 8th.
Broesder resigned from the council last month, leaving his seat vacant. The council had opted to appoint a Second Ward resident to replace Broesder, but last Thursday afternoon a petition was submitted in order to force a special election to fill Boesder’s unexpired term, which runs through the end of this year. On Friday morning, O’Brien County Commissioner of Elections, County Auditor Barb Rohwer issued an opinion that the petition was valid and should be accepted. Rohwer said there was a period of five business days in which the petition could be objected to. That five-day period concludes this Thursday, April 22nd, the day AFTER the council meeting. She says if the petition is objected to, and is invalidated, there would be a second opportunity to submit a new petition for a special election.
