Mayor Darren “Scott” Cooper passed away this morning around 7:15 a.m. at Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital. He was surrounded by his family at the hospital.

 

Mayor Cooper was appointed to serve as Acting Mayor on June 1st by his colleagues on the Lincoln City Council. Even in his short term as mayor, Scott demonstrated himself as a proven leader and a dedicated public servant.

 

“The tragic loss of Scott is devastating to the Council and community,” stated Mayor Pro Temp Marty Neitzel. “His loss creates a void in the leadership of the City that cannot be replaced. All of our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.”

 

The vacancy created by the passing of Mayor Cooper will be filled by Mayor Pro Temp Marty Neitzel until the Council takes action on appointing a new Acting Mayor. The City will follow the same process on filling the mayoral vacancy as was practiced after the resignation of former Mayor Keith Snyder. The aldermen, in a public meeting, will vote amongst the current membership to appoint an Acting Mayor to finish the term originally begun by former Mayor Snyder, ending April 2017.
