(KNZA)--The City of Hiawatha is planning a reception to honor Mayor Bill Collins for his nearly 30 years of service to the city.
The reception will take place Tuesday afternoon, Dec. 27, from 3 to 5 - prior to the regular city commission meeting - in the upstairs area of City Hall.
Collins has served on the Hiawatha City Commission since May 1993, first as Commissioner of Finance and then as mayor since July 2018.
Collins did not seek re-election as mayor this year instead running unsuccessfully for the position of 1st District Brown County Commissioner .
Current Hiawatha City Commissioner Becky Shamburg was elected in November to replace Collins as mayor, and will be sworn in next month.
