(MSC News)--A new Marysville city administrator has been hired.
The Marysville Advocate reports the City Council this week voted unanimously to offer a contract to Austin St. John, of Chapman.
The 30-year-old St. John was among three candidates interviewed for the position.
He will succeed Rick Shain who will retire June 17th after serving as Marysville City Administrator for 17 years. The Council hopes to have St. John on aboard before Shain retires.
St. John has served as the city administrator of Chapman since August 2014. Prior to that, he worked for the Kansas Department of Administration’s Municipal Services Section as a municipal services specialist for one year.
St. John earned a master’s degree in public administration and a bachelor’s degree in political science from Kansas State University.
