Nick Hernandez

There have been five city managers in five years in Ark City, if you include interim manager Dick Chesney.

It sounds like the commission found a good one in Nick Hernandez. His military back ground is a plus, and it sounds like he wants to achieve real results and make real change.

Some have cautioned the it sounds like Doug Russell again - young, smart ambitious - and look what happened with him. But we have a different commission now and so we'll see what happens.

This is what Ark City needs. Also gotta like his comments about being transparent. Let's hope we can have a period of relative calm while continue the progress that has been made in recent years.
