(KNZA)--The Hiawatha City Commission has approved the appointment of a new city attorney.
Following an executive session Monday evening, the Commission unanimously approved the appointment of Andy Delaney to fill the unexpired term of Don Cashman.
The appointment is effective November 1st, with the term ending in May 2018. The position will be up for re-appointment at that time.
Mayor Dr. Steffen Shamburg said Delaney is a lifelong Hiawatha resident who has practiced law about 15 years. He said the city had a couple of good applicants.
The Commission accepted the resignation of Cashman at their September 5th meeting, effective October 31st. Cashman, who is retiring from the practice of law at the end of the year, has served as city attorney for more than 48 years.
In other business, the Commission approved the hiring of Terry Jimeson to fill the position of wastewater operator in training, pending successful completion of a physical capacity test and drug evaluation.
Jimeson is to begin work October 16th at a salary of $13.50 an hour.
Wastewater Superintendent Dave Grimm said he was among three candidates interviewed for the position, and previously worked for the city.
