Voters to choose city clerk in April

DeKALB – Residents interested in running for DeKalb City Clerk will need to collect at least 239 signatures to get on the April ballot.

DeKalb voters overwhelmingly defeated the measure to make the position an appointed one, with 9,020 saying “No” and 3,778 saying “Yes.”

The City Council put the question on the November ballot after former City Clerk Steve Kapitan resigned in February for failing to comply with the state’s Open Meetings Act.
