Avon City Council Clerk to Retire After 16 Years

AVON, OH — The Avon City Council is losing a familiar face.

Clerk of Council and Recycling Coordinator Ellen Young is retiring on May 31 after 16 years as clerk, reported Cleveland.com.

Young is retiring in order to spend time with her father in Colorado, she told Cleveland.com. Young looks back on her time with the council fondly.

She told Cleveland.com:

"The night I was appointed, the morning I submitted my resignation and everything in between," she told Cleveland.com. "It has truly been a gift. I'll miss a lot. I'll miss my daughters, my grandson and my friends while I'm gone. As far as city hall goes, I'll miss everyone here; especially the assistant clerk of council and my dear friend, Gail Hayden. I'll miss the energy, the different personalities and all of the changes taking place. This is an exciting time for the City of Avon and I've enjoyed being a part of that. It's not going to be easy to leave any bit of it. I won't miss controversial times, though."
