With two vacancies remaining on the Clarkson City Commission after November’s general election, officials appointed new commissioners Monday to fill the seats.


Opening Monday’s regular commission meeting, the first of the new two-year term, Mayor Bonnie Henderson recommended that former commissioner Joyce Bell and newcomer Tammy Schultz be appointed to fill the remaining two seats on the city commission.

These appointments were approved by the city commission, and Bell and Schultz were then sworn in by Henderson before the meeting proceeded into its business portion.


The commission then appointed members to oversee the city’s various departments. Henderson will oversee the Clarkson Police Department and City Clerk-Treasurer’s Office; City Commissioner Michael Anderson will oversee Parks and Recreation; Bell will oversee Sewer and Sanitation; City Commissioner Tim Faulkner will oversee Streets and Sidewalks; and Schultz will oversee the Clarkson Fire Department.


Lastly, the commission voted to appoint Anderson as Clarkson Mayor Pro Tem.

  • Approved two municipal orders updating Clarkson’s personnel policies. The first prohibits city employees from using medicinal cannabis. The second adjusts the city’s holiday policy so that any full-time police officers who are required to work on a holiday in which they would receive holiday pay will be paid for the hours they work on the holiday and receive time off equal to their regularly scheduled shift in lieu of their holiday time off. This time off must be taken within 30 days of the holiday.
