DeWitt City clerk‑treasurer resigns; council confirms Kristina Brott as replacement

The DeWitt City Council accepted the resignation of City Clerk‑Treasurer Sarah Stoltzfus, effective April 13, 2026, and unanimously confirmed Kristina Brott as the new City Clerk‑Treasurer, effective April 28, 2026, with annual compensation set at $83,500.

The action came during the council’s April 13 regular meeting at City Hall. Mayor Susan Leeming presented the appointment, and the council voted to confirm it without recorded opposition.

Stoltzfus, who recorded the meeting and served the city for more than a decade, addressed the council during staff reports. “Thank you for the greatest 10 years and 9 months of my career. This crew/team/friends/work family has been amazing and I’m deeply grateful to have been a part of it,” Clerk‑Treasurer Sarah Stoltzfus said.

Mayor Leeming moved the appointment of Kristina Brott; Councilmember Landgraf seconded the motion, and Councilmember Kellogg joined roll call support. The council also included a Resolution of Appreciation for Stoltzfus on the agenda as a ceremonial item.

The council’s actions followed a unanimous vote to accept Stoltzfus’s resignation earlier in the meeting. The record gives no details about the selection process that led to Brott’s appointment, and no additional terms or benefits were specified beyond the stated annual compensation.

Next steps: Brott’s appointment takes effect April 28, 2026, and the city will proceed with administrative transition tasks prior to that date.
