(KNZA)--A new Hiawatha City Administrator has been hired.

Following an executive session Monday evening, the Hiawatha City Commission unanimously approved the hiring of Brad Scott for the position.

Scott has been serving as interim city administrator since April.

The position came open after the Commission voted at their March 11th meeting to accept the resignation of former City Administrator Becky Berger. Berger had served as city administrator since January 2023.

Scott has been with the city since 2005. He was appointed to the newly created position of Public Works Director in March of last year after serving as Water and Lights Superintendent since early 2018.
