Mayor Judy Sheets performed the swearing-in of Greg Miller to the Frankfort Board of Works today, Monday, June 1, 2020.
Miller replaces board member Mark Mitchell who submitted his resignation effective May 31, 2020, due to moving outside the city limits of Frankfort. Miller will also replace Mitchell on the Frankfort Redevelopment Authority board.
“According to state statute he [Mitchell] cannot continue to serve on the Board of Works,” said Mayor Sheets. “I knew at the time of appointing him, he and his wife were in the process of building a home outside the city, but I wanted to get his expertise and knowledge for the first three months I had in office.”
“I am excited. I think Greg Miller is going to do a great job for me,” continued Mayor Sheets.
Miller brings 36-years of city experience to the position. He currently is a Frankfort firefighter and director of the Clinton County EMS.
“I am looking forward to the challenges,” said Miller. “Frankfort is my hometown. I have worked my career here, I’ll die here.”
“I love the community and there is so much going on and it’s an opportunity to help payback.”
Miller said he is ready to help the citizens understand the decisions that are made and provide guidance to Mayor Sheets.
“The years of experience and the opportunities to have situations arise, we don’t always have a direct answer for them, but to work things out or to find a resolution for the public is something I have with working for the fire department.”
The next regular meeting of the Frankfort Board of Works is Monday, June 8, 2020, at 5 pm.
