From time to time, this Web site will bring up an old story. I'm guessing that's what you saw -- something from two years ago (one city council election ago), when Trudy Smith and Dale Oldenburg resigned. Jeremy Goebel was re-elected that year, there were several candidates, and David Hanson and Jeanne Marnoff joined the council.

I will apologize for my above statement, must have been a computer error. Because me and 3 people I know read the same article. But on the same date in Feb. at the same time different computers, and it looked like it was just posted. Front Page internet.

Again I am sorry. For my above statement.

That is incorrect. Goebel's

That is incorrect. Goebel's seat on the Jordan City Council is not up for election this year. Most recently, he was re-elected in 2006. City council and mayoral terms run for four years.

The seats held by Mayor Ron Jabs and councilmembers Sally Schultz, Mike Shaw, and Barry Ullmann are up for election this November. To my knowledge, none of these candidates has announced his or her intentions about re-election.

If someone wants to file for city elections, they ought to do so between Aug. 26 and Sept. 9. For more information, call the city at 952-492-2535.

Another good place for discussion about the city council election might be in this forum: http://www.jordannews.com/community/forums/local-goverment/city-election....

Who is seeking reelection and who is not? I haven't seen any announcements?

The problems with waiting

The problems with waiting until election time is only 1 is seeking reelection, the other 2 are not. So hopfully people still remember this issue at the time the other seek reelection if they do.

Just wait until elections

Just wait until elections are held, then we will see who won.

Taking the land by condemnation did not need to happen. The intersection did not need to be widened in order to replace the lights.

Shame on the city for taking land away from the Church that has been in existence 150 years.

City wins judgment against St. John's

The city of Jordan won its case against St. John the Baptist Catholic Church.

A judge favored the city, which is trying to widen the road at the intersection of highways 21 and 282, after the church's lawyer argued that church land cannot be taken in this instance, City Attorney Annette Margarit said.
