Mount Vernon official Beimer named to Bluestem board
Mount Vernon city administrator Mike Beimer, 53, was appointed by the Linn County Board of Supervisors to Bluestem Solid Waste Agency board of directors to fill the term of Councilman John Nieland. Beimer will represent small towns and rural residents for a three year term and says he will be objective. The agency seeks a future direction as space runs out at Cedar Rapids landfill and new site searches have stalled. Beimer has 14 years with Mount Vernon and notes his outside seat while focusing on local city interests.
