(KNZA)--Several staff members were recognized at Monday evening's Hiawatha City Commission meeting for their years of service to the city.

Mayor Becky Shamburg presented service awards to Gene Atland for his 20 years of service with the Hiawatha Fire Department, Quentin Overdick for five years of service with the Fire Department and Code Enforcement/Building Inspector Dave Wilson for his five years with the city.

Two other staff members, who were not present at the meeting, were also recognized. Ryan Shockley for 15 years of service with the Fire Department and Police Chief Mickey Gruber for 10 years of service with the Police Department.

In other business, Wilson provided an update on eleven properties the city has deemed as unsafe and dangerous.

It was the consensus of the Commission to grant 90 day extensions for six of the properties, to move ahead with demolition of structures on four of the properties and to remove one of the properties from the list.

In addition, the Commission authorized City Administrator Brad Scott to begin the process of looking into grant funding available through the Kansas Department of Transportation to improve pedestrian safety along the 1st Street Corridor.
