Rushville to Get New Clerk

Rushville, IL – Rushville's City Clerk Rebecca Koch will leave office Oct. 1. Mayor Ron Shepherd says the aldermen want deputy clerk Stacy Ervin to fill in until May 1 when Koch's term ends. However, city workers are unionized, and if the interim clerk is a full-time position, other city employees could also bid for the position. Shepherd says the city might make the interim clerk a part-time position. He says aldermen want to ensure that Ervin could return as deputy clerk if she should decide to run for the position and lose. He says aldermen will make a final decision on the post at their next council meeting. Ervin would have to file by February to run in the April election.
