Renwick city clerk calls it a year and a career

Submitted by admin on Thu, 01/07/2021 - 12:05am

Renwick City Clerk Terri Meyers called it a career last Thursday at Renwick City Hall. She has served the city in that capacity since October 1995. Humboldt Independent photo by Kent Thompson.

By KENT THOMPSON
When Terri Meyers woke up Monday morning, she had nothing to do. At least nothing she “had” to do.
With the new year came a new transition for the longtime Renwick resident.
Terri completed her duties as Renwick City Clerk on Dec. 31, 2020, topping off a 25-year-plus run in that position. Such longevity in the same job is becoming a rarity these days.
She started working for the city of Renwick in October 1995. Meyers started out as part-time, but as duties increased and more accounting and paperwork was required, the demands of the job increased. She has been salaried at 30 hours a week for the past 7-8 years. Read more about Terri's story in this week's Humboldt Independent.
