WISNER, Neb. (AP) — The small northeast Nebraska town of Wisner has hired its first city administrator.

Wisner hired Al Vacanti to be its city administrator, clerk and treasurer.

He’s replacing Barb Rabe who has been clerk and treasurer for nearly 26 years.

Rabe says Vacanti’s background as a lawyer and his experience as Scribner’s first city administrator and treasurer and clerk will help him in Wisner.

Vacanti says he enjoys city administration and will do his best for Wisner.

Part of Vacanti’s job will be helping Wisner’s volunteer mayor and city council comply with increasingly complex rules and regulations.
