Judge Thomas Saxton, district magistrate judge and Iola Municipal Court judge for the past 27 years, is retiring.
Saxton’s retirement was announced April 19, and accepted Monday by Iola City Council members.
“Hopefully, I have served the citizens of Kansas well,” Saxton wrote in his retirement letter.
Meanwhile, Council members removed the interim tag from Gregg Hutton’s title as code enforcement officer. Hutton replaces the outgoing Shonda Jefferis.
Council members appointed Alana Kinzle to the city’s tree board and reappointed Jessica Maness to the library board. Kinzle was appointed to the library board as well.
