When Kent Hixson accepted the job of Mulvane’s city administrator in 1994, little did he know that his service would stretch almost three decades. “Back then, I would have laughed at the idea of staying 29 years,” he said. “I wanted to stay long enough so our two sons could get through high school.” But after about 10 years in Mulvane, he realized how good he had it – and he was having a great time as well. As he asked: “Why go someplace else?” But that run is coming to an end as Hixson is retiring, with Oct. 6 as his last day on the job. “It’s bittersweet, but it’s my time to move on and I’m looking forward to the next chapter.”
