(Atlantic, Iowa) – Members of the City of Atlantic’s Personnel & Finance Committee will meet at 3:30-p.m. Friday (March 8th), in the City Council’s Chambers at City Hall. Among their agenda items is to Review and make a Recommendation to the City Council, with regard to the City Clerk’s position and Contractual Services.

City Clerk/Treasurer Barb Barrick told KJAN News she has “reached a mutual agreement” with the City of Huxley, which is expected to become official on March 12th. Barrick said the Council has received her written resignation.

She cited as a reason for the change is to be closer to her family. Her husband is in Postville, one daughter is in Cedar Falls, her son and grandchildren are in the Pella area, and other two daughters are in Iowa City.

Barrick had succeeded Deb Wheatley Field in 2017, after she retired as City Clerk following 35-years of service.  In other business, the Personnel and Finance Committee will review and make recommendations on the following:

• Police Staffing
• A YMCA Management Contract for the Sunnyside Pool
• and a new Retainer Agreement for the City Attorney.
