Atchison officials are now working to fill a City Commissioners seat after the resignation of Commissioner Andrew Werring.

He resigned last week, effective immediately.

Werring credits the resignation due to the growth of his law practice and a conflict between community service and family time. He started serving with the City Commission in 2007 and was first elected to office at 27-years-old.

The remaining City Commissioners must select a replacement at their next meeting February sixth. Atchison residents interest in serving on the City Commission are asked to send a letter of interest to the City Clerk.
