Long-time Humboldt resident and businessman Jeff Harklau is the newest member of the Humboldt City Council.
Harklau was appointed by the council at their regular meeting on Monday, Dec. 5 at City Hall.
Harklau was unanimously approved by a 4-0 vote. He was then administered the Oath of Office by Humboldt City Clerk Gloria Christensen.
In an interview with the Humboldt Independent afterwards, Harklau said he was looking forward to serving on the council. He replaces Mike Worthington, who passed away suddenly on Nov. 1.
“With Mike’s passing, it’s unfortunate that we are in this position. I have always been interested in the city council meetings,” Harklau said. “I used to watch them all the time when they were televised. I have an interest in what happens in Humboldt.”
