Hartley hires new public works superintendent

A familiar face has been hired to fill Hartley's long-vacant superintendent of public works position.

Nick Galm, who has served on the city council since 2022, was hired for the job on Monday during a special meeting. The position has been open since August.

Galm's annual salary was set at $95,000. He resigned from the council prior to being hired on a 3-1 vote. Council Member Matt Dolphin was the lone dissention.

According to City Administrator Roxann Swanson, Galm was the only applicant for the position during its four-month vacancy. He succeeds Anthony Weatherman.
