Two board vacancies were filled and a new one announced at the Feb. 20 meeting of the Libby City Council.
Council members voted unanimously to appoint John P. Thornton to the City-County Board of Health and Mark Andreasen to the City Planning Board.
Thornton, emergency services manager at Cabinet Peaks Medical Center, was the sole applicant for the health board opening, while Andreasen was chosen over Charles McFarland to fill the planning board vacancy.
In closing Tuesday’s meeting, Mayor Brent Teske announced a new opening on the City Planning Board that was created by the resignation of Marvin Sather, who filled one of two city resident positions on the seven-person board.
City residents interested in applying to fill the vacancy can apply online at linccntymt.seamlessdocs.com/f/CityPBApp or stop by City Hall at 952 E. Spruce St. in Libby.
