BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
Beginning the last week in July, City Clerk Johanna Kinney will be going on maternity leave for
approximately the months of August, September, and a portion of October. At this time, Deputy City
Clerk Brenda Ballou will be placed in acting status as Acting City Clerk.
These summer months are very busy and time sensitive for the City Clerk’s Office, primarily with pre-
election preparations and important legal notice requirements for the primary, city, and general
elections this year, as well as running the Seward-Obihiro Sister City Student Exchange program in
addition to the day-to-day functions of the department.
To help with the absence of Kinney, the City Clerk’s Office advertised a Temporary Deputy Clerk
position and received an application from Carol Kvasnikoff. Kvasnikoff has agreed to work for the
City of Seward in this Temporary Deputy City Clerk capacity for a portion of the time Kinney will be
away on maternity leave.
Seward City Code 2.20.045 (10) states the City Clerk shall have the power to appoint deputies, if
needed, provided that the appointment of all deputies shall be approved by a majority vote of the
council. Carol Kvasnikoff has been conditionally offered the position of Temporary Deputy City
Clerk and staff respectfully requests council approval of this appointment.
