Childs hired to fill admin assistant job

Shonna Childs will serve as Babbitt’s newest city administrative assistant. Childs will fulfill supplemental administrative duties under the supervision of deputy clerk-treasurer Sara Powell and clerk-treasurer Kirsten Traut.

The city administrative assistant is the primary contact for members of the public visiting city offices. The assistant also takes payments for utility bills and city fees, maintains and posts official meeting schedules, assists with council agenda creation and more.

The hiring occurred at Tuesday’s regular council meeting, immediately following a special council session to hold second-round interviews for four of six first-round interview candidates.
