WEBSTER CITY- A longtime member of the Webster City City Council announced Tuesday he will not seek a fourth term. Logan Welch will be stepping down from his council duties once his current term expires at the end of December. Welch released a letter thanking the city, its residents and his work with the council for the past 12 years. In his resignation letter, Welch wrote that he believes it’s time for someone new to step forward. He wrote that the council seat is not meant to be kept, it is a platform meant to be shared. Welch also wrote he believes others deserve the chance to shape the future of Webster City just as he was given the opportunity when he was first elected. The complete letter by Welch is found on the KQWC Facebook page.
There are two other Webster City city council members whose terms will expire at the end of this year. They are Mayor John Hawkins and Councilman Matt McKinney. The filing period for the city council seats will begin August 25th with the deadline to return all nomination papers being Thursday, September 18th at 5:00 p.m. The city council election day is Tuesday, November 4th.
