CITY OF HAYS

Hays City Commissioner Sandy Jacobs will host a small social event honoring Hays City Commissioner James Meier and Assistant City Manager Jacob Wood, who are both leaving Hays for other employment at the first of May.

Other city commissioners will be in attendance for a meal and refreshments and to bid farewell to Meier and Wood. No business will be conducted and the meeting is purely social.

While serving as mayor, James Meier offers the opening toast of the 2018 Hays Oktoberfest.

Meier will be moving to Wichita where he will be manager of the in-patient pharmacy at Ascension Via Christi St. Francis hospital.

Wood has taken the position of deputy city manager in Salina.

Both men were thanked for their work for the city of Hays during the April 11 city commission meeting.
