Her last city council meeting was Thursday evening where there was a small reception in her honor. Mayor Brian Johnson noted her leaving during the meeting saying, ?I remember how excited we were to have you four years ago and we are going to miss you.?
Sloane, an adjunct professor at Tarrant County College, received the 2011 ?Employee Innovation Award? from Kennedale for process improvement and increased organizational efficiencies, including development and administration of new website, expanded online capabilities, agenda management software, and electronic records program.
The city secretary/communications position is actually two positions combined into one, an effort made by the city to streamline the city government and to cut back on expenses.
As City Secretary, Sloane was responsibilities included but not limited to coordinating elections and voter registration, agendas and packets for the City Council and commissions and boards, handling public information request, coordinating volunteers for city programs and maintaining updated city ordinances and codes and other city records.
As City Communications Coordinator, Sloane was responsible for all official public communications including press releases, newsletters, facebook, twitter, media relations and public affairs, website administration and development, photography and video coordination and special event administration.
At the Thursday evening meeting the City Council voted to appoint Kelly Cooper as interim City Secretary. Cooper currently serves as Human Resources Director for the City.
