(KAIR)--It was only a matter of weeks before an ousted, longtime employee of Atchison County gained a new role of leadership, this time in the Jefferson County community of Valley Falls.
Valley Falls Mayor Jeanette Shipley, in emailed correspondence with MSC News, says Wes Lanter was appointed to the position of Valley Falls City Administrator, through action of the Valley Falls City Council, on February 22.
Lanter, who is currently on the job in his new role, replaces previous Valley Falls City Administrator, Audree Guzman, who resigned her position, effective in January.
Lanter, who was employed with Atchison County for 14-years, was terminated by the Atchison County Commission February 6.
Although a reason was not given for Lanter's ouster, the County, at the time of his termination, said he was terminated from his positions as both Emergency Management Director and I.T. Director for the County.
