(KLZA)--A vacancy has been filled on the City Council in Pawnee City.

During the Monday evening meeting, the Council confirmed Mayor Charlie Hatfield's appointment of Donnie Fisher to fill the remaining term of office for Mark Sunneberg Jr. who resigned earlier this month.

Fisher will serve until December. If he decided to seek the seat during the November General Election he would have to run as a write-in candidate.

The Council also learned Pawnee City is one of seven Nebraska communities from 193 applicants for a USDA-Rural Community Development Initiative Grant.

The amount of the grant has not yet been determined, but will help cover training costs for members of the community interested in receiving training to participate in various community programs.
