Additional appointments and re-appointments of non-council members include:

The council voted to retain Amanda Hromek as recreation coordinator and hired Landon Allen as a part-time library clerk.
In other business, the council authorized an addendum that would add the City of Milford to an interlocal agreement among Seward, Butler, Saline and York counties and the cities of Seward and York for public safety software, hardware and related services from Zuercher Technologies.
It also accepted notice of retirement from Siebken, effective April 21, 2023. The city will begin the search for a new police chief.
