Mike Meagher, executive director of the Logansport-based Area Five Agency on Aging and Community Services, will fill out the unexpired term of Mark Hildebrandt. The appointment gives the five-member board a second member from outside the corporate limits of the city.
Mayor Dave Kitchell says roughly half the Logansport Municipal Utilities service area lies outside the city limits, and he has indicated the appointment will give customers outside the city one Republican member and one Democrat member who don’t reside in the city.
The other member from outside the city limits is Jay King, a Republican appointee of the city council.
The remaining board members are mayoral appointees Dan Slusser, and Don Strasser. and council appointment Marty Monahan, who are all Logansport residents. Utility Service Board terms are four years.
State law prevents utility service boards from having a majority of members from outside the municipality that establishes a utility.
