WORTHINGTON — Gene Foth was appointed to fill the vacant seat on the Nobles County Board of Commissioners this morning on a 3-1 vote. He will be sworn in at the May 4 board meeting, and serve the remainder of the year as Commissioner of District 4.
Foth was the only one of four candidates to attend the meeting, just one day after a special public hearing where nominations were accepted for the post.
Board chairman Marv Zylstra recognized Foth for his interest in the position, as shown by his attendance at the meeting, but said all four of the candidates were well qualified for the seat.
Voting in opposition to Foth’s appointment was Commissioner Vern Leistico, who cited an interest in appointing someone with previous experience on the board.
Other candidates who had expressed interest included former Nobles County Commissioners Mike Peil and Gerald Mulder, along with Robert Demuth Jr., who plans to campaign for the District 4 seat in the November general election.
