Hawarden council approves interim city administrator contract with Travis Waterman; oath administered for clerk role
Summary
Hawarden City Council on Feb. 12 approved an interim city administrator contract with Travis Waterman and administered the oath for the city clerk position; the measure passed unanimously. The council also addressed multiple routine items that evening.
Hawarden’s City Council unanimously approved a contract making Travis Waterman the interim city administrator and administered the oath for the city clerk role during its Feb. 12 meeting.
The action (Resolution 2025-03) was moved by Councilmember Harvey and seconded by Councilmember Anderson and passed by a 5-0 vote (Aye: Klocke, Allen, Warner, Anderson, Harvey). The resolution authorizes execution of an interim contract with Waterman; the transcript records the vote and that the oath of office for the city clerk position was administered but does not include the oath text or additional terms of the contract.
The meeting attendance list records Travis Waterman as Public Works Director among staff present; the meeting minutes later show Waterman attesting to the minutes with the title “City Administrator/City Clerk.” The transcript does not clarify whether Waterman holds both positions or whether the titles reflect a role change; the record only shows the two titles as written in the minutes.
Mayor Larry Gregg presided. No further employment terms, salary figures, contract duration or follow-up reporting deadlines were included in the transcript.
The council handled several other routine agenda items that evening, including votes on auditor selection, grant acceptance and license renewals.
