Milton looks for new city clerk after Schroeder resigns

Schroeder began as city clerk in 2017, was working for the city at the time and certified as a municipal clerk.

While previous city clerks in Milton were full-time, Schroeder was part-time (30 hours).

When Elena Hilby left to work in Sun Prairie, Milton City Administrator Al Hulick said, “We had a unique situation with Leanne and all of her previous experience. Her desire to be the clerk was predicated on the ability for the position to remain part-time. With Leanne’s departure, it is highly unlikely that we would be able to find a replacement in a part-time capacity.”

A job description and application for the city clerk position is available at www.milton-wi.gov/employment. Application deadline is Jan. 21.

The city clerk will primarily be responsible for elections and licensing management. This position will not be required on a regular basis to attend night meetings of the city council or other committees. Starting salary is $51,646-$59,696.

Schroeder, who started with the city of Milton in 2008, said, “It was time for change. I am going to miss many things — working with the election officials and voters on elections, my coworkers, and many of the residents and business owners that have become friends over the past 13 years.

“It was a difficult decision, but I still plan to visit Milton regularly for all of the fun stuff — shopping and restaurants.”
