The Henderson City Council officially appointed Tracey Kimbrell to the position of clerk to the board at its meeting Monday.
Kimbrell has served as interim clerk to the board since November, after previous clerk Esther McCrackin retired in late October.
John C. Rose and Bill Harris spoke with Kimbrell by phone earlier today and they reported she sounded enthusiastic about her new role.
In addition to her service to the city council, she will report to City Manager Terrell Blackmon for the day-to-day duties, just as other department directors. In a resolution approved by the Council, Kimbrell will serve at the pleasure of the Council for an indefinite term.
According to the agenda information, the city conducted a search for qualified candidates to fill the position and determined that Kimbrell was the most qualified.
Although it wasn’t something that she necessarily planned for, she said this was an opportunity she didn’t want to pass up.
