Congratulations to Carrie Zittlow on appointment as Allouez Clerk-Treasurer

On October 6^th, the Allouez Village Board unanimously appointed Carrie Zittlow as Allouez Village Clerk-Treasurer to fill the unexpired term of retiring Clerk-Treasurer beginning January 3, 2021.

Carrie has served as the Deputy Clerk since August 2015 which should provide for a smooth transition. 

Congratulations Carrie on your appointment and wishing you every success in your new duties.  

The Municipal Clerk plays a pivotal role in each municipality. In the past, many municipal clerks were elected and took office with only a general knowledge of their duties. While some clerks are still elected, many municipalities have changed the method of selecting the clerk from elected to appointed, given the magnitude and complexity of the clerk’s duties, and the broad-based but specialized knowledge clerks must have to complete those duties.
 
The Municipal Clerk’s basic duties are set forth in the Wisconsin Statutes, Secs 61.25 (villages) and 62.09(11) (cities).
