Gold Bar: New councilman named
The Snohomish County Council on Tuesday appointed Lee Hodo to an open spot on the Gold Bar City Council.
Hodo will fill the seat vacated by former Councilman Chris Wright, who resigned in September. The term runs through the end of the year. County officials made the appointment after Gold Bar was unable to find a replacement within 90 days of the vacancy.
During a public interview with the County Council, Hodo described himself as a retired maintenance engineer and a Korean War veteran. The 79-year-old said he moved to Gold Bar in 1991, a few years after retiring from a career in Alaska. After retirement, he said, he worked as a consultant and drove a school bus for the Sultan School District.
The County Council voted 5-0 in favor of Hodo’s appointment.
Gold Bar continues to seek an appointee to fill another open City Council seat, which also would last until elections this fall.
