Earlier today, my office was informed of inexcusable activities by some employees of the City Clerk.

Those employees, including Chief Deputy Clerk Angie Davis, have resigned. Due to this vacancy, state statute requires my office to appoint an Interim City Clerk.

I have asked former City Councilman Don Schmidt to serve in this temporary capacity. He has agreed and will begin his duties immediately. Don is a respected member of our community and a dedicated public servant. I appreciate Don’s willingness to serve in this important role as we work together to meet the needs of our City.
