Monday’s Farber Board of Aldermen meeting marked a changing of the guard as long-time city clerk/collector Marie Bounds officially retires.
But Bounds leaves the city she’s served for 50 years in good hands, with Megan Roth.
A 2001 graduate of Van-Far High School, Roth started working for Farber City Hall Jan. 4. Since then, she's been working closely with outgoing city clerk/collector Bounds and learning the ins-and-outs of city business.
“I love working with Marie and have learned a lot in a small amount of time,” Roth says. “She takes care of so much more than I believe most people realize. She is a sweet, sweet lady and very dedicated to the city of Farber. She has been a very good teacher and very patient in showing me all she does.”
Roth previously worked as a billing specialist for Tri County Care Center in Vandalia and Central Bank. She also currently works at Sara’s Salon in Vandalia, where she is a beautician.
“I’m thankful Marie is only a phone call away,” Roth says. “I have learned that I have big shoes to fill but am looking forward to serving the city of Farber.”
Megan and husband Tom have five children. Her hobbies are spending time with friends and family and all-things outdoors.
Bounds was recognized at Monday’s board meeting, which was her last meeting serving in that official capacity. See Saturday’s Ledger for more about Bounds’ career.
