West St. Paul Parks Director Takes Minneapolis District Supervisor Job
Resignation creates 3rd major vacancy BY BRIAN BONNER, Pioneer Press
Paul Hokeness, West St. Paul's parks, recreation and public works director, is resigning to take a job in Minneapolis.
Hokeness will leave the St. Paul suburb later this month to become a district supervisor of the Minneapolis Park Board. He could not be reached for comment Friday.
His departure, announced in an e-mail to staff and officials, means that West St. Paul has three high-level vacancies to fill. The other two are those of assistant city manager and police chief.
