(KNZA)--The Hiawatha City Commission voted unanimously Monday evening to accept the resignation of City Administrator Becky Berger.
Following an executive session, Mayor Becky Shamburg announced that Berger had submitted a letter of resignation, which was effective immediately.
No reason was publicly stated for the resignation.
Berger was not present at the meeting.
Shamburg said she could not comment on the resignation, saying it was a personnel matter.
