The Princeton City Council has hired a former area resident as its wastewater supervisor.
David Akins of Greeley, CO, will begin his new duties shortly after the first of the year. He will replace Jeff Peace, who is retiring from the position in February after 33 years of service. Akins has worked in the Bethany and Chillicothe areas, according to Assistant City Clerk Danette Summers.
The filing date for the April 8 city council election was set for Dec. 17 to Jan. 21. Persons interested in filing for either of the two two-year council positions or the mayor’s position may do so at city hall during regular business hours. Holding those positions currently are councilmen George Scurlock and Mike Greenlee and mayor Kurt Meighen.
The council approved a $1,575 bid from James Oujiri of Greencastle to tear down the airport hangar for salvage. It was the only bid received.
The council will next meet at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 8.
