Interim city clerk Carl Chalfant, who also is the city administrator, said the city has been searching for a new clerk since June 17, when former city clerk Nicole Willits resigned. Willits joined the city staff in July 2007.

Chalfant said the search has been “fantastic,” as there have been 55 applicants.

The next city council meeting will be 7 p.m. Tuesday at McLouth City Hall, 110 N. Union St.
