Stacia Tallon assumed the role of administrative coordinator for the city. Tallon officially started Jan. 2 after interviewing for it at the end of December.
Tallon, originally from Nebraska, used to work at Dakota Med Temps, Inc. as its human resources and finance clerk. While her current goal is to get organized and learn more about her job, Tallon looks forward to meeting new people and talking to the community.
“I’m ready for a change,” she said. “I look forward to learning more about the government of Hill City and meeting more people in the community.
Tallon said her public job is much different from her former private company job.
“Instead of authorizing things on my own, I have to go through channels before I can have things approved,” she said.
“We’re very glad to have her on board,” Brett McMacken, city administrator, said at the Jan. 2 city council meeting.
The administrative coordinator position is in charge of payroll and insurance for city workers, human resources, accounts payable and water billing.
“I hope that I can do the city proud,” she said. “Anything I can do to help makes my job better.”
