GREAT FALLS — City Commissioners on Tuesday evening appointed Eric Hinebauch to fill the position left vacant by Tracy Houck.
Houck announced her resignation several days ago to take a job with Northrup Grumman as a Small Business Liaison Officer.
Hinebauch finished third in the municipal election earlier this month for a seat on the commission.
The top two finishers in the election who will soon take their seats on the commission were Joe McKenney and Susan Wolff.
