Six Apply for Gibraltar Town Board Vacancy

The town has received six letters of interest from people who’d like to fill the vacancy on the Gibraltar Town Board that was created when Tim Luettgen resigned effective Sept. 30. 

The six applicants are Tom Birmingham Sr., Scott DeVillers, Kathaleen Diltz, Jack Moore, John Selenica and Karl Stubenvoll.

The deadline for receipt of the letters was Sept. 28.

The town board will appoint a person to serve out the remainder of Luettgen’s two-year term. The person appointed would be up for election in April 2023 if that person wishes to continue serving.

Travis Thyssen, town administrator, said he believed the candidates would attend the Wednesday, Oct. 5, board meeting, where the board was scheduled to consider the candidates. The appointment could be made at that meeting. 

Luettgen, who was serving his second two-year term, resigned because he’ll be spending half the year in Florida and wouldn’t be able to maintain the residency requirement.
