The City of Moncton has a new city clerk and the face is a familiar one at city hall.
Shelley Morton has been appointed to the role.
Morton has served as Moncton’s Assistant City Clerk since 2009 and most recently as Deputy City Clerk.
The City Clerk position is a key role in the governance structure, ensuring that council meetings are managed effectively and is the record keeper of all official city documents.
“I am pleased to be appointing Shelley as our new Director of Legislative Services/City Clerk,” said Marc Landry, City Manager.
“Shelley has demonstrated her understanding of the municipal governance structures and has both the experience and the qualifications to assume the new responsibility and continue to play a key role in fulfilling our vision of being A City that Inspires.”
Morton has a diploma from Oulton’s Business College and a certificate in Local Government Administration with a concentration in Law and Ethics from Dalhousie University, as well as a National Advanced Certificate in Local Authority Administration (NALAA), also from Dalhousie University.
A national search was conducted to fill the position following the retirement of Barbara Quigley earlier this year.
