(KNZA)--A new Hiawatha code enforcement official has been hired.

City Administrator Mike Nichols told MSC News that Curt Clark has been hired for the part-time position.

Following an executive session Monday evening, the City Commission approved his hiring at a salary of $17 an hour.

Clark, who held the position a number of years ago, recently retired from the Brown County Appraiser’s Office where he served a senior data collector.

The position came open earlier this year following the resignation of police detective Beau Hasenohr, who also served as the city’s code enforcement officer.

Clark is to begin work April 22.
