It was an emotional and bittersweet ordeal as the new Howell City clerk was sworn in.
City Council met virtually Monday night and per charter, unanimously approved a motion to officially appoint Angela Guillen to the position with a negotiated salary of $59,000. An offer of employment was earlier extended to Angela Guillen subject to negotiations of an agreement. That was accomplished and Guillen started in her new role on February 16th.
It was stated that longtime Clerk Jane Cartwright is leaving after 17 years of stellar service and difficult elections, noting she also served in the dual role of Human Resources director. She got choked up while administering the oath of office to Guillen and both were teary-eyed at the end.
