(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.
Approval of the agreement came on a 2-1 vote, with Commissioner Rich Lehmkuhl casting the dissenting vote.
Parker will be paid a $3,000 monthly stipend.
He was among two attorney's interviewed to fill the position.
Parker currently serves as county counselor/county administrator in neighboring Nemaha County.
Kevin Hill, who had served as Brown County Counselor, will continue to serve as County Attorney and to handle Child in Need of Care cases.
