Former long-time Burlington city clerk to make encore appearance. . . as Graham’s interim city clerk

Former Burlington city clerk Renee Ward has been tapped by Graham’s city council to fill in as interim city clerk in the neighboring city inasmuch as Graham’s clerk, Darcy Sperry, is leaving for a new position at the coast.

Sperry will become the village clerk on Bald Head Island, whose former clerk, Daralyn Spivey, a seven-year veteran of the post, moved on to become clerk for the Brunswick County board of commissioners.

Sperry has served as Graham city clerk for 6½ years, and prior to that, for four years as zoning enforcement officer.
