RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — Former Rapid City mayor Sam Kooiker (KWAY’-kur) is taking a new job in his home state of Iowa.

Kooiker will become city administrator of Cherokee, Iowa, by January.

Cherokee is a city of about 5,500 people, about 50 miles from where Kooiker grew up in Boyden, Iowa.

Kooiker served two terms as Rapid City’s mayor, starting in 2011. He lost his re-election bid in June. He was defeated by former police chief Steve Allender, with whom he had clashed regularly.
