(KAIR)--The City of Atchison has gained a new City Manager.

That word is delivered by the City in a release, which says that chosen for the role is Mark Westhoff, the current County Administrator for Prowers County, Colorado.

Westhoff's hiring follows a series of interviews with four candidates seeking the position, with Westhoff coming out on top.

His contract was approved July 1, with Westhoff to begin his new role on August 27.

Westhoff, in the release, says he is "overjoyed at the opportunity to join the excellent team in Atchison and build on the positive momentum they and the City Commissioners have created there."

Westhoff and his wife, Brianne, have four children.

The City Manager position became vacant with the resignation of Amy Finch. The City's Director of Public Works, Clinton McNemee, continues to fil the role in an interim position until Westhoff''s duties begin.
