DeKalb City Clerk Resigns

Suzanne Pupino is stepping down from her position as DeKalb City Clerk.

The move comes less than two weeks after being sworn-in.

According to a news release issued Friday night, Mayor John Rey said Pupino resigned to "spend more time enjoying her retirement."

Pupino wassworn-in on May 11, 2015 for a two-year term.

The release says city staff members will perform the duties of Clerk until a person is appointed for the remainder of the term until the next local election in 2017.

According to the city's release:

"After beginning her duties as clerk, Pupino said she realized adjusting from a retired lifestyle into the part time Clerk position was something she did not enjoy."

Former City Clerk Liz Peerboom resigned in 2014.
