NVD municipal clerk
steps down for new job

I QNCE asked Donna Ken-
ny whether she ever saw her
home in daylight.

By Martin Millerchip

The conversation took — place
after a six-hour North Vancouver
District Council meeting.

She laughed at the question,
which says much about her char-
acter, and confessed to ocea-
sionally giving 355 West Queens
Rd., the address of North Van-
couver District hall, as her own,

Until recently Kenny worked
day, and oftentimes night, at the
hall as North Vancouver District's
deputy municipal clerk.

A target of “corporation”
raiders, Kenny now holds the
same tide for Surrey municipality.

North Vancouver District's
municipal manager Mel Palmer
described Kenny as, ‘ta very com-
petent person, a very willing per-

more and more aware."

Kenny first worked for the
district in 1955, when she started
as the secretary to the assessor be-

In the next seven years Kenny
typed her way through the
municipal hierarchy, working for
the municipal clerk and solicitor

as well as the reeve and comp-
troller (mayor and manazer).

Kenny took time out fo raise a
family (She now has two sony in
their 20s) before returning ito
district, hall as assistant to the
municipal clerk six years ago.

She was promoted to deputy
municipal clerk atier cramming 15
credit, courses into three years of
night school to obtain her business
certificate in public administra-
tion,

Kenny rarely talks in’ the first
person, preferring to emphasize
the teamwork nature of the job.

The municipal clerk is the
department head and as such
takes final responsibility, but as
the deputy clerk Kenny has to be
able to fill those shoes if called
upon to do so.

Kenny acknowledges that now
that her work load is more
onerous it: will probably take her
2% years to complete the nest
eight courses from the University
of Victoria.

About that work load: Is Tues-
day any easier after a 15 or 16-
