Woodland Park council appoints Monica Mendoza as city clerk

The Woodland Park City Council unanimously appointed Monica Mendoza as the city's new city clerk and administered her oath of office at the Jan. 15 regular meeting. Council members moved and seconded the appointment and a roll-call vote was recorded; the motion carried unanimously.

The appointment followed remarks recognizing outgoing City Clerk Suzanne Leclair, who the council noted was attending her final meeting. Monica Mendoza repeated the oath: "I, Monica Mendoza, do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States and of the state of Colorado, the charter and ordinances of the City of Woodland Park, and that I will faithfully perform the duties of the office of city clerk upon which I'm about to enter." Council members congratulated Mendoza after the oath.

No conditions or amendments to the appointment were recorded. The council moved on to the rest of the meeting after brief informal remarks and completion of oath paperwork.
