In Loving Memory of City Clerk June Lemos
WHEREAS, Fort Bragg and the broader Mendocino Coast community have lost an incredible leader and knowledgeable mentor with the death of City Clerk June Lemos on September 28, 2023; and WHEREAS, ten years ago, on October 21, 2013, June Lemos was hired by the City of Fort Bragg as an Administrative Assistant in the Community Development Department; and WHEREAS, less than two years thereafter, on September 15, 2015, June was promoted to City Clerk according to City Council Resolution No.3852-2015; and WHEREAS, in November 2021 June accomplished her goal of becoming a Master Municipal Clerk; and WHEREAS, this designation is held with great prestige as there were only 167 Master Clerks in California at the time she received that title; and WHEREAS, for seven years June served with integrity and distinction as Fort Bragg's City Clerk and her passing has left a void of grief among her friends, colleagues, and family; and WHEREAS, June focused her capabilities to achieve the goals of the City and her true legacy lies in the profound effect she had on City operations and accomplishments; and WHEREAS, her sense of humor, kind-heartedness, and civility enriched many people fortunate enough to know her and work with her; and WHEREAS, June's commitment to public service and bringing government transparency to the people was an exceptional gift she brought to our community.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Bernie Norvell, Mayor of the City of Fort Bragg, on behalf of the Fort Bragg City Council and its employee family, recognize the significant contributions of June Lemos throughout her distinguished career and her remarkable achievements and that we as a community will mourn with her family and loved ones and continue her dedicated work in public service. She will be sorely missed.
