Karen Dillon (Kansas City Star) – Daniel Morton became the first Kansas City parks board commissioner from Platte County on Thursday.
Mayor Mark Funkhouser announced his appointment at a press conference at the Line Creek Community Center. Morton replaces Meg Conger, who stepped down to work for Councilman Russ Johnson.
“Dan will be a passionate voice for Kansas City parks,” Funkhouser said. “I am convinced that he will represent the city well and that he will look for innovative ways to improve an already outstanding parks and recreation department.”
Morton said he was gratified to be appointed.
Morton has a financial background. He also is a soccer coach for his son’s high school team and has ridden the Katy Trail from end to end with his children.
