(KAIR)--The new City Manager for the City of Atchison has been chosen.

She is Amy Finch, the current City Administrator for Crookston, Minnesota.

According to a release from the City of Atchison, “the one-year contract hiring [of Finch] was approved at [Monday’s] City Commission meeting.”

She is expected to begin her duties on April 4.

Finch, who is originally from Ottawa, Kansas, is a graduate of Ottawa University and holds a Master’s in Public Administration from Wichita State University.

Finch, in the release, says it’s her “honor to serve as Atchison’s next City Manager and be part of the team that has achieved so much success and continued momentum,” adding that she is “happy to get back home to Kansas after spending some time in Minnesota.” Finch notes that she, and the City of Atchison, “will work hard to achieve a smooth transition and keep moving forward.”

Finch was one of two finalists for the City Manager’s position selected from a pool of 25. Also in the running for the seat was current Assistant Atchison City Manager, Joe Warren.

The position of Atchison City Manager became vacant with the resignation of Becky Berger in August of last year.
