Alstrom steps down; Aberdeen City Council seat open for applications

The Aberdeen City Council is looking to fill another seat on their council.

At their Wednesday meeting, Mayor Pete Schave announced that Councilman Tim Alstrom is resigning from his seat in Ward 3.

In the meeting it was stated that Alstrom and his wife are moving out of Aberdeen and will no longer be in the Ward.

Alstrom has served on the Aberdeen City Council for approximately 20 years.

Alstrom accounts for the fourth Aberdeen City Councilmember to step down this year for various reasons, following Karen Row,  Jerrick Rodgers , and Shaney Frame Crosby.

Anyone from Ward 3 interested in sitting on the council should provide letters of interest, along with a resume, to Mayor Schave by Friday, September 4, 2020 to allow City Council to review and make a selection for a qualified person to fill the vacant position.
