Council withdraws prior clerk appointment, approves acting clerk pay and temporary office closures
Summary
Mayor Haeker withdrew his appointment of Michelle DeAngelis Simonson as City Clerk; the council approved retroactive pay for Acting City Clerk Tashia Fleischmann from June 1, 2026, and temporarily closed city offices on Tuesdays and Thursdays until a new clerk is hired.
Mayor Hal Haeker formally withdrew his previous appointment of Michelle DeAngelis Simonson as City Clerk after she did not respond to communications or accept the position; the council approved the withdrawal by motion of Larry Casper and second by Tom Moulton.
The council then debated compensation for Acting City Clerk Tashia Fleischmann and approved paying her the wage of the previous City Clerk retroactive to June 1, 2026. The vote was split—Casper and Moulton voted yes, Wheeler and Mahalek voted no—and Mayor Haeker cast a tie-breaking yes vote. Council also approved temporarily closing the City office on Tuesdays and Thursdays until a new City Clerk begins, with exceptions when the 15th falls on those days to permit utility payments.
