Council names David Skaug to fill vacant seat
MOSES LAKE — At a special meeting on Tuesday, the Moses Lake City Council appointed David Skaug to fill a council seat left vacant when former Mayor Dean Hankins resigned at the end of August. Skaug was one of 10 residents to submit applications to the council to fill the open position, with council members voting 5-1 to approve his appointment. Skaug, 69, is a lifelong resident of Moses Lake who, along with his brothers, runs a clutch of businesses. “I just decided it was time to get involved in a more positive way,” he said after the meeting. “I’ve been here all my life, so I kind of have a good feel for where Moses Lake has been. And I want to have a commitment to where it’s going. I’m excited about that, to be a part of that process. Skaug will serve the rest of Hankins’ term, which expires at the end of 2023, meaning he will need to run for election next fall if he wishes to keep the seat.
