(KNZA)--The Horton City Commission has a new member.
Rex West took his seat on the Commission this week after he was sworn in as interim Police Commissioner by City Clerk Kim Knudson.
West was appointed earlier this month by the Commission to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Bryan Stirton following his appointment as interim Mayor.
West will fill the remainder of Stirton’s term, which expires in January 2020. The position is up for election in November of next year.
West retired in June 2016 after 31 years with the city of Horton, the last role as city supervisor overseeing the Public Works Department.
