(KAIR)--Atchison's new City Manager, this week, will meet with the public in an informal session, allowing an opportunity for casual, one on one conversation.

That's set to happen Thursday morning, with Mark Westhoff to be in attendance at the Santa Fe Depot Visitor Center for the one hour meet and greet.

According to a release from the Atchison Area Chamber of Commerce, Westhoff will meet the public from 8 until 9 that morning, with coffee to be served, along with the chat.

Westhoff, who last served as County Administrator for Prowers County, Colorado, was selected from a pool of four candidates to fill the City Manager position. The Atchison City Commission, in July, approved his contract.

Westhoff and his wife, Brianne, have four children.
