There will be a vacancy on the Junction City – Geary County Metropolitan Planning Commission.

The Geary County Commission appointed Gary Schellhorn to the MPC this past Monday, and he took the oath of office and participated in the planning board meeting Thursday night at the Municipal Building.

But Schellhorn confirmed he will need to step down from the board. Although he has been a resident of Geary County he will be moving to a new farm site about two miles farther south in Morris County. You need to be a resident of Geary County to serve on the planning board.
