(KNZA)--Horton Chief of Police John Calhoon will also serve as the permanent city administrator.

Horton Mayor Bryan Stirton says the City Commission voted at their meeting Monday to appoint Calhoon to the permanent position.

His annual salary was set at $72,500. 

Calhoon had been serving as interim administrator since June of last year.

He was appointed to the interim position after the Commission voted to remove City Clerk Kim Knudson from that role.

Calhoon has served as chief of police of the Brown County community since September 2013.
