Dover’s Council clerk moving into Council seat
DOVER (WJER) (August 11, 2023) – The city’s council clerk for the past 15 years is soon going to have a vote on City Council.
The Tuscarawas County Republican Party Central Committee Thursday appointed Julie Leggett to fill a vacant council-at-large position. She’ll be sworn in Aug. 21.
Leggett has been clerk of council for 15 years, first appointed by then council President Tim Tarulli In 2008.
She takes over an at-large seat vacated by Joe Sciarretti at the end of June. Sciarretti had been appointed a year earlier after Justin Perkowski vacated the seat to take over as council president.
Perkowski will appoint a new council clerk to replace Leggett.
Leggett is also on the school board meeting agenda this month. The board will consider hiring her as student services secretary.
