Where the Possibilities are Endless

Elected City Officials

  • Marlin Seeman

    Mayor

    I’m pleased to serve as the newly-elected Mayor of the City of Aurora.  There is a sense of joy serving in a progressive city that I care very much about for the future.

    My wife, Nancy, and I have lived in Aurora since 1972.  During that time, I taught Agricultural Education at the Hampton Public Schools for 34 years.  I have served on numerous professional and community committees, was elected twice to the Aurora City Council, and three previous terms as Mayor of Aurora.

    I am a passionate Husker fan, enjoy outdoor sports and traveling to new and interesting locations.  I have three degrees related to Agricultural Education and have served in leadership capacities at my church, the Leadership Center, Hampton Schools and the State-wide FFA missions.

    I welcome you to stop by Aurora City Hall and discuss the role of the running back in Nebraska football or some questions you might have about infrastructure, economic development, business-related activities, positive progress that the city could implement for an improved lifestyle for businesses, entrepreneurs, and families in Aurora.

  • Paul Lackore

    Ward 1 City Council Member

    As a member of the local governing body, the Aurora City Council, the City Council is responsible for the development of policy, and also for the legislative oversight of the administrative and fiduciary functions of the City.

    2012 marks the second year of my current four year term. Prior to being appointed to the City Council, I had not served the City in any elective office.

    I am an Optometrist and have practiced my profession at Pearle Vision in Grand Island since 1995.

    Working out of town has limited my volunteer involvement in the community. I have been active in the Aurora United Methodist Church, and have also been a member of the Optimist Club.

    My hobbies include enjoying movies, plays, music, cooking and exercise. My wife Peg and I enjoy time with our children and extended family. We enjoy planning things as much as doing them.

    As a Council Member for Ward 1 please never hesitate to contact me with your questions or concerns.
