Edgewater hires Sarah Jacobson as city clerk at $93,000 a year
Summary
After interviewing three candidates, the council voted to hire Sarah Jacobson for the city clerk position at an annual salary of $93,000, with an expected start in mid-June pending a 30-day notice and finalized contract.
The Edgewater City Council selected Sarah Jacobson for the city clerk position on May 4 after interviewing three finalists. Council members praised the candidates; staff said all three were qualified, and several councilmembers noted local ties and relevant experience.
The mayor moved to hire Sarah Jacobson with an annual salary of $93,000; the motion was seconded and approved by roll call with unanimous support. Staff said Jacobson anticipates a 30-day notice to her current employer and an expected mid-June start date; the City Manager will negotiate the employment agreement and return a contract to council for finalization.
Why it matters: Selecting a permanent city clerk ends an extended recruitment process and places an experienced administrator in a role that manages official records, agendas and council support functions.
What’s next: City staff will finalize a contract consistent with the motion and present it at a subsequent meeting for formal execution.
