Ketchum appoints Worst as new city attorney
By GREGORY FOLEY
Express Staff WriterKetchum resident Ben Worst was appointed as the new city attorney in a unanimous vote Monday, April 5, by City Council members.
Worst was nominated by Ketchum Mayor Ed Simon after an extensive search for a replacement for Margaret Simms, who resigned from the city attorney post on March 19.
Simms had served as the city attorney since August 1997. Worst, 36, for the last year has maintained an independent law practice in Ketchum. He specializes in real-estate law, business law and general litigation.
He previously worked in a shared practice in Ketchum.
"I’m quite honored to be selected because all the other candidates were highly qualified," Worst said.
Worst will start working for the city on April 15.
Worst said he is looking forward to assisting the city in reviewing anticipated applications to develop the River Run base area of Bald Mountain, Warm Springs Ranch, and the Simplot lot, across from the Ketchum Post Office.
"The main challenge is going to be helping the City Council with those three projects," he said.
