Last week the news came down that Mayor Jody Cole and Commissioner Greg Gwin selected Jason Sheahan from among 10 candidates who volunteered to serve the remainder of Cody Gettler’s unexpired term as City Commissioner in Garnett. He is Operations Manager at A-1 Sewer and Septic in Kansas City and has worked 23 years in the trades and has a 20 year background in tax preparation. He told the Anderson County review that his immediate priority as the newest Commissioner, is to get educated about and develop an understanding of the role and purpose of each City department. He says he planned to focus on developing and improving the people, processes and systems in the City and leaned toward policies that create opportunity for private investment and growth.
Sheahan was selected from 10 potential volunteers for the position. The three-year post runs through the end of 2023. Commissioner Gwin says Sheahan stood out with his very good background growing and improving the companies he has been with. Sheahan will be sworn into office at the Commission Meeting on Tuesday.
