Glenwood Springs City Clerk Catherine Mythen Fletcher is leaving the position after six years, effective Dec. 29.
Fletcher, who has served as city clerk since October 2014, announced her resignation in a Dec. 9 letter to city Chief Operating Officer Steve Boyd.
She will be pursuing another job opportunity, said Boyd, who will be acting city clerk for the interim while working to hire a new city clerk.
The position has been posted since Fletcher’s announcement, and the application period closes Jan. 1, 2021.
“We hope to find a good replacement, but Catherine has big shoes to fill,” Boyd said. “We’ll see what the candidate pool looks like on Jan. 2, and invite three or four people in if we think they are qualified, and make a decision.”
