Joe Gertge selected as new councilman

SOUTH WEBER -- Joe Gertge, was selected by the city council to replace Sara Lusk, who has moved out of town.

Gertge, who took over on Sept. 15, will serve for the next 15 months.

“I saw a website that the councilman was available and was interested,” Gertge said.

Gertge had been mayor of South Weber from 2001-2008. He had to leave the mayor’s office because of his job at Boeing, which took him to Minot, N.D. and Great Falls, Mont.

Since retiring, he has the time to commit to the office, and said, “It’s a good group to work with and I appreciate the city staff.”
