The city leader responsible for keeping track of many of the city’s licenses and ordinances is leaving for a job with the Kansas University athletics department.

Frank Reeb, the city clerk and the director of administrative services, is leaving June 19 to become the director of human resources with the athletics department, he said.

As part of his job with the city, Reeb oversees the city’s hiring and recruitment efforts, employee benefits, and also is responsible for many administrative functions such as maintaining City Commission minutes, overseeing several licensing and permit programs and conducting various bid openings.

City Manager David Corliss said the city would begin advertising to fill the position later this summer.

Reeb, who has been with the city for about eight years, is expected to begin his new duties at KU on July 1.
