Dodge City hires Nick Hernandez as new city manager

The city commission voted unanimously to approve the city manager employment agreement with Nick Hernandez at its meeting Monday night.

Hernandez’s employment with the city will take effect June 1, 2020, when long-time City Manager Cherise Tieben plans to retire after 30 years of service to the city.

Like Tieben, Hernandez is a Ford County native. He is the current manager of Arkansas City, a position he has held for eight and a half years.

Prior to that, he served as manager of Osage City for three years.
