(CHADRON)-After a brief meeting Monday night, the Chadron city council selected Chadron resident Wayne Anderson as city manager elect for the city of Chadron. Members opted to vote by written ballot, and the vote was unanimous in favor of Anderson. Anderson was pleased with the results and is excited to get started.
