(KAIR)--A new year for the Atchison City Commission.
That was marked Monday with the swearing in of Commissioners as chosen in November by Atchison voters.
The Oath of Office was followed by the selection of Commission leadership for the new year.
That happened early in Monday's special meeting of the Commission, which was the first session of 2018.
Sworn-in by Atchison City Clerk Deb Clem were incumbents Dr. Allen Reavis and David Haussmann, as well as newcomer Shawn Rizza.
Rizza replaces Larry Purcell who had served on the Commission for more than two decades, but was defeated in his bid for re-election.
Following the swearing-in ceremony, leadership was selected.
Reavis easily won re-election as Chairman of the Commission, ceremonially referred to as Mayor, with no others nominated for the role.
It was a similar story for Haussmann who retained his role as Vice-Chair, ceremonially referred to as Vice-Mayor.
