Don Beason's contract with the city of Hickory has ended.
City Manager Mick Berry writes Dome that the contract ended once the session was over. He said that Beason was one of several lobbyists working for the city.
The others were Frank Folger, Wendy Kelly and former Lt. Gov. Dennis Wicker, who worked for Hickory as a member of the Protect the Catawba River Coalition, which is fighting Concord and Kannapolis over water use from the Catawba and Yadkin rivers.
Berry said the city will be developing its legislative agenda for the next session over the coming months and determine "how best to get it accomplished."
"Mr. Beason is not currently under contract to represent the City of Hickory as a lobbyist and we will be evaluating who (if anyone) would best represent our interest in the short session next year," he wrote.
