At the beginning of February, clerk Maria Konefal announced her last day in that position would be May 1, marking 38 years in the role.
To fill the vacancy, the city did not have to look too far afield.
On April 2, it was announced that Thomas Thayer had been hired as the new Clerk/Director of Legislative Services and would begin those duties on May 11.
Exactly one month later, we sat down with Thayer, who had previously served as CAO and Deputy Clerk at the Municipality of Bayham.
Previously, he had been the Deputy Clerk in the Municipality of Trent Hills, east of Peterborough.
Thayer admits the time has flown by, starting with a council meeting on the first day in his new office overlooking Talbot Street.
