I am honored to have been chosen for this position and am eager to contribute to this outstanding team,” said Macdonald. “Growing up in Loveland, I am thrilled to have the chance to serve the community that played a significant role in shaping my success today.”
In this role, Macdonald will be responsible for overseeing the five-person City Clerk’s Office, ensuring the effective administration of essential municipal functions such as public elections, licensing, and maintaining custody of all official and public records, including the Municipal Code.
“As we welcome Ashley, I want to extend my deep appreciation to the entire clerk’s office including our Acting City Clerk Angie Sprang for managing the important clerk duties for the past seven months, including the 2024 election cycle. Their success is a testament to the amazing team we have here at the City of Loveland,” said Wensing.
