The St. Joseph City Council officially welcomed its newest council member Jon Hazen at Monday night’s council meeting. Hazen will replace Brian Theisen, who resigned earlier this summer for personal reasons.
Hazen was selected from six other applicants and brings with him a history of community involvement including being a member of the Jacob Wetterling Community Center Committee.
Hazen grew up in St. Joseph and has always been interested in local government. His mother Stephanie Hazen was a city council member in the 1990s.
Hazen moved back to St. Joseph with his wife in 2015 and has been raising his family here ever since.
Jon Hazen is sworn in by City Administrator Therese Haffner.
