After years of dedicated service to the City of Howell, longtime Clerk Jane Cartwright has announced her retirement.

After 16 years of service, Cartwright said she’s providing notice of her retirement on or around March 1st.

She noted she’s been privileged to work with many great leaders in the community which not only played a role in her success but also created her success. Cartwright said she has the utmost respect for City Council and has always received the same in return – further thanking Council for their confidence in her.
