Leader Staff
Two longtime members of the Shawano City-County Airport Commission have announced they are stepping down.
Chairman Larry Sperberg said he is retiring effective May 1, after 18 years on the commission.
Secretary/Treasurer Lee Lemke also announced he is resigning, effective at the end of April, after nine years with the commission.
Sperberg is a city appointee whose latest six-year term is set to expire April 30.
Lemke was appointed by the county, which will need to appoint a replacement to fill out his term, which was not set to expire for another two years.
Mayor Lorna Marquardt said the commission would make recommendations for people to fill the vacancies.
Marquardt usually puts out a call to the public for citizens interested in serving on commissions. However, in this case, she said, the posts require people with specialized knowledge.
