St. Charles council appoints Jessica Bridges as city clerk; deputy clerk also named
Summary
The Saint Charles City Council on June 16 appointed Jessica Bridges as city clerk, effective immediately, after adopting a resolution declaring a vacancy; Marzania Sheets was appointed deputy city clerk for fiscal year 2025–26.
The Saint Charles City Council voted June 16 to declare a vacancy in the office of city clerk and to appoint Jessica Bridges as city clerk effective the same day. Mayor Clint Hall told the council that 12 people applied for the role and that Bridges will serve until a successor is elected following the consolidated election on April 6, 2027.
The council adopted the initial resolution declaring the vacancy and then approved the appointment by roll-call vote. Bridges took the oath of office during the meeting and recited the statutory oath referencing the U.S. Constitution, the laws of Illinois and the ordinances of the City of Saint Charles.
The council also approved the appointment of Marzania Sheets as Deputy City Clerk for fiscal year 2025–26. Mayor Hall said staff conducted multiple interview rounds and that “we had 12 different people submit resumes and cover letters asking to be considered,” and that the selection followed review of qualifications and interviews.
Votes and formal actions were taken on the floor: the resolution declaring the vacancy was moved, seconded, and approved by roll call; the appointment of Bridges was moved by Alderman Werbel, seconded by Alderman Boeschner, and carried by the council. The deputy clerk appointment was approved in a separate roll-call vote.
