KENDALLVILLE â Shari Targgart is proud to live in Kendallville and she hopes you are, too.
And if not, well, she hopes to work on that as the newest member of the Kendallville City Council.
Targgart is joining the council as the new representative for District 2, replacing Steve Clouse who resigned last month citing needing more time for his law practice and family. Sheâll serve out the remainder of his term, which runs through the end of 2023.
She was selected by Kendallville Republicans to fill the vacancy at a caucus on Saturday morning, finishing ahead of other candidates Ron Stanley and Anna Gibson in the contest.
KENDALLVILLE â Kendallville City Councilman Steve Clouse is stepping down after more than five years serving the city.
Clouse announced his resignation this week, citing his need to devote more time to his private law practice and his family. His resignation is effectively immediately, he said.
âThe reason is quite simple â I have served since August 2015 and simply need more time to spend with my family and my private practice. I fully support Mayor Handshoe and my fellow council members so it has not been an easy decision to get to this point,â Clouse said.
Clouse represents District 2, which generally covers the part of the city west of Main Street and north of Drake Road.
