(KNZA)--The search for a new Hiawatha city administrator has suffered some setbacks.
Interim City Administrator Larry Paine provided an updated at Monday's Hiawatha City Commission meeting.
Paine said the two recruitments the city has undertaken, with assistance from League of Kansas Municipalities, have not gone well.
He said he has reached out through another avenue to try and find someone, but has not had any success either.
Paine suggested the commission wait until after the November election, when the race for the position of mayor will be decided, to restart the search process.
The position has been open since former City Administrator Mike Nichols resigned in April.
Paine, a retired city administrator from Hillsboro, has been serving as interim administrator since that time.
