Kiowa City Clerk Trish Brewer unexpectedly submitted her resignation to City Administrator Sam Demel on Dec. 22. Demel said she gave two weeks notice and her last day was Jan. 4.

Brewer told the new administrator she took a job elsewhere but would not share the location, as she was advised not to, Demel said. She has moved away from Kiowa. Looking back in the archives, Brewer was officially hired at the June 2017 meeting of Kiowa's City Council. She had moved to town with her husband Virgil “Dusty” Brewer who was Barber County Undersheriff at the time.
