One Wayne County village has a new clerk and treasurer.
Lynette Morrison has been hired for the position by the village of Newark. Employed by the Village of Newark for over twenty years, she has held administrative positions in Code Enforcement, Department of Public Works, Cemeteries, Accounts Payable, and most recently was Deputy Clerk/Treasurer.
Lynette and her husband Richard reside in Fairville. They have four children and ten grandchildren. She enjoys camping and spending time with her husband, children, and grandchildren.
“Lynette’s familiarity with different Village departments gives her a solid foundation of knowledge to draw from,” stated Mayor Jonathan Taylor, “She has done an excellent job as Deputy Clerk/Treasurer and we have no doubt she will continue to do so in her new position as Clerk/Treasurer.”
Doug Townsend, DPW Foreman, remarked, “Lynette has worked hard and successfully in many roles within the Village. She has served the employees and community with the utmost integrity, compassion, and dedication. I wish her the best as she settles into this new challenge and will enjoy working with her as I have in the past.”
