(KNZA)--Monday evening's Hiawatha City Commission meeting marked the last meeting for two commissioners.

Commissioners Toni Hull and Dustin Williams were defeated in their bid for re-election during the November general election.

Hull said its been a pleasure to serve on the Commission the last seven years. She said it was really difficult to leave her chair on the Commission, but every good thing comes to an end.

Williams thanked everyone for the opportunity to serve on the Commission the last four years.

Mayor Bill Collins and fellow Commissioners thanked the two Commissioners for their service on the Commission.

Brian Shefferd and Evans Woehlecke will take their seats on the Commission after being sworn in at the January 19th meeting. Shefferd will replace Hull as Commissioner of Utilities and Woehleck will replace Williams as Commissioner of Police.

In other business, the Commission approved the appointment of five individuals to the Hiawatha Land Bank Board of Trustees.

They include Luke Moore, Troy Boswell, Leon Wissman, Gene Hillyer and Commissioner David Middendorf. They will serve staggering terms.

The Commission approved an ordinance at its December 21 meeting creating the land bank. The purpose of the land bank is to manage and dispose of derelict properties in the community. The goal is to have those lots be repurposed for something better.
