Lake Geneva council selects former mayor to fill vacancy
LAKE GENEVA--After nearly two tense hours of citizen comments and discussion among city officials Monday night, former mayor Spyro "Speedo" Condos was selected to take over the vacant seat left after 1st District Alderman Gary Dunham resigned earlier this month.
The council first rejected a resolution to hold a special election, then voted to appoint Condos. Alderman Frank Marsala said he would not vote on anything but holding an election and abstained from the appointment vote.
Dunham resigned Aug. 7 and the city council failed to raise quorum during two previous meetings to discuss filling his seat. Aldermen Mary Jo Fesenmaier, Penny Roehrer and Tom Spellman were absent from both meetings. Roehrer and Fesenmaier were excused from each. Spellman was not excused, but maintained that he sent an excuse for the second meeting.
The three aldermen were joined by Alderman Arleen Krohn in voting for Condos to fill the position.
