(KNZA)--A Kansas City attorney has been hired to serve as the new Brown County Counselor.

The Brown County Commission at their September 8th meeting approved a revised agreement with Austin Parker to provide county counseling services for the county, effective immediately.

He was among two attorney's interviewed to fill the position.

Parker currently serves as county counselor/county administrator in neighboring Nemaha County.
