New council members will include Shelly Peacock in Ward 1, Jay Luerman in Ward 2, Shelly Arnberger in Ward 3. Peacock will replace Moeder, who assumes his new role. Luerman will replace Jolene Biggs.

Also on Monday's agenda, the body will decide on the purchase of a replacement vehicle for the Great Bend Fire Department, and vote on a new storage facility at Fire Station 2 for the cost of $119,114, which will be paid by the half-cent infrastructure sales tax that was approved by citizens in a 2024 vote. The council will also consider the purchase of three vehicles for the Great Bend Police Department at a total cost of $164,831.

Tonight's meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall.
