(KNZA)-- A metal bench was unveiled Friday afternoon in front of the Hiawatha City Hall honoring former Mayor and longtime city commissioner Bill Collins.
On hand for the unveiling were city officials and members of Collins family.
Collins served the city of Hiawatha for nearly 30 years--first as Commissioner of Finance and then as Mayor before retiring in January of 2023.
He died in April 2023.
At the request of two of Collins daughters, the City Commission last December granted approval for the installation of the bench.
His memorial money was utilized to pay for the bench, with city staff providing the installation.
