Sidney will soon have a new city council member because Ward II councilman Terry Sivertson is moving outside of city limits.

“Next month, I will officially move out there,” Sivertson said on Wednesday.

Sivertson was appointed to the council in January 2002 after Bret Smelser, who was previously a Ward II councilman, was elected mayor. Sivertson says he’s served two and a half terms.

“I’ve enjoyed my time on the council,” Sivertson said. “It’s been a great learning experience. I’ve enjoyed working for the people.”

Once the position is vacant, the mayor will appoint Sivertson’s successor. The council then needs to approve the appointment.

“The mayor and myself have discussed a couple of individuals,” Sivertson said.
