Vilas County Looking for New County Board Member

A seat on the Vilas County board is open again. TheLakelandTimes reports its the second time the board will start the summer with vacant seats on the board. This time its the District 5 seat, which covers Wards 2 and 7 in the town. No one stepped forward to run for that seat when former board member Michelle Langheim did’nt run for re-election. County Clerk Kim Olkowski said she didnt receive applications from anyone before the deadline of the 7th. The process to fill a seat takes a few weeks, so if you’re interested, letters of interest and resumes should be sent to Chairman Jerry Burkett, Vilas County Board of Supervisors, District #5 applications, 300 Court Street in Eagle River.
