2021 Bloomfield Chamber City of Bloomfield Personnel of the Year - Kari Standley

The Bloomfield Chamber of Commerce held their annual Awards Banquet on Thursday, March 31, 2022 at the Boat House Wine Co.  

Dee Loflin, Chamber Board Member presented the City of Bloomfield Personnel of the Year.

"In 2011 the city hired a new face for the position of water clerk.  That decision has proven to be a wise one. 

In 2012 this same employee was offered the position of City Clerk.  It has been assuring to walk into that office and see that same reliable person for the past 11 years. If you are able to attend any city meetings, or just step into City Hall, you would be quick to recognize this person. She is an asset to our city and is the go-to person for answers.

Time does not permit me to share in detail the job description of our City Clerk, and even if I tried, that description is always evolving.  One of her most recent accomplishments was applying for and receiving the $20,000 Donation from Nestle Purina for construction of an Animal Shelter.   

The faces we most associate with our City offices might be the mayor and alderman but without their “right hand woman” our City Clerk, I am sure they would tell you they would be at a great disadvantage.  We haven’t seen everything that's been happening behind the scenes for the past 11 years, but we know our city is better and stronger because of the quality work she has provided. 

At this time, we want to give honor to Kari Standley as the City of Bloomfield Personnel of the Year and convey our most sincere thanks for being so dedicated to her position and the City of Bloomfield.  Our city is better because of her and we hope to have her for many more."
