The City of Vandalia will be looking for a new Deputy City Clerk. The City Council at their special meeting on Wednesday accepted the retirement of Barb McCart for December 30th of this year. McCart has been with the City of Vandalia for 41 years and Mayor Gottman says it is certainly a loss to the city. City Clerk Peggy Bowen says that when she came on board 19 years ago that McCart was her teacher and that she has a vast wealth of knowledge and the city will definitely miss her. The last bit of action on the agenda was to advertise for a new Deputy Clerk to fill McCart’s position. It was stated the city wanted to start getting the ball rolling on hiring someone as they would like that person to train with McCart before the year is over.
