Perhaps it was only fitting that Brenda Davis’ final act as the city clerk for Scott City would be swearing in her successor during Monday’s council meeting. It was just over 21 years earlier, in November of 1999, that Davis was taking the oath of office – only seven months after she had begun working in City Hall. “That wasn’t part of the plan,” says Davis about the sudden transition from assistant clerk to city clerk following the unexpected announcement by City Clerk Sharon Ricker that she would be resigning. “At the time, city government was a whole different world to me,” she notes. “My background was in education, so I was learning something every day. And I still am.”
