COON RAPIDS, Minn. -- The interim city attorney has one less word in his title this week.

City manager Matt Fulton has appointed Dave Brodie to the city attorney post. Brodie, who's been an assistant city attorney since 2005, replaces Stoney Hiljus who left to become a judge this past spring.

Fulton says Brodie brings quote "very solid legal credentials and experience and will serve the City's needs very well."
