(KNZA)--The first candidate has filed for one of three seats up for election this fall on the Hiawatha City Commission.

Toni Hull is seeking re-election as Commissioner of Utilities.  Hull has served on the Commission since May 2013.   

Also up for election this November is the position of Commissioner of Streets and Parks, currently held by Irv Schwalm, and the position of Commissioner of Police, currently held by John Sheeran.

Candidates have until noon, June 1st to file at the Hiawatha City Hall. 

The Kansas Legislature last year approved a measure moving city elections from the spring to the fall.

The three candidates elected this November will take office in January 2017 and serve a 4-year term.  Commissioners previously served a three-year term, but the Commission earlier this year approved a resolution changing the terms to 4-years.
