(KNZA)--There's a new member on the Horton City Commission.

Natasha Gladden took her seat on the Commission at their January 5th meeting after being sworn in by City Clerk Brianna Monson as Streets and Utilities Commmissioner.

Monson also administrated the oath of office to Micheal Pierce as Finance Commissioner. Both were elected last November. Pierce was appointed as interim Finance Commissioner last July to fill the unexpired term of Tina Nigh, and won election in November to a 4-year term.  

At the request of city Parks and Recreation Director Derek Richardson, the Commission approved allowing community members to use the Blue Building to walk on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 6 am to 9 am, and Saturdays from 8 am to 11 am, contingent upon participants signing of a waiver. Richardson said it will be just be while the weather is cold or bad, probably until March. 

Also at the request of Richardson, the Commission approved the use of the Armory for Zumba classes on Monday evenings at 7:00 through mid-March, contingent upon participants signing a waiver.
