City Council members approved a two-year contract Thursday to hire Carl Slaugh as Iola’s next city administrator.
Slaugh, retired city administrator from Basehor, is replacing Judy Brigham, who will retire in September.
Slaugh, 63, will be paid an annual salary of $83,865.60, Mayor Bill Shirley said.
The contract was approved via 5-0 vote. Affirming the contract were councilmen Jim Kilby, Steve French, Don Becker, Scott Stewart and Kendall Callahan. Unable to attend Thursday’s special meeting were Beverly Franklin, Ken Rowe and Joel Wicoff.
The council earlier this week formally offered the position to Slaugh, who also served as city administrator in Hiawatha for four years and as a capital improvement coordinator in Merriam.
Prior to that, he was a 20-year Air Force officer and pilot.
