Clerk/Treasurer History

When the Village of Brooklyn Heights was first established in 1903, the positions of “Clerk” and “Treasurer” were separate. Our first Clerk of Council was Hamilton Richardson, and our first Treasurer was Isaac Hinckley. On March 5, 1985, Council passed Ordinance 18-85 to combine the positions of Clerk & Treasurer. Brooklyn Heights first Clerk/Treasurer was elected and took office on January 1, 1986. Barb Grzelecki was our first Clerk/Treasurer and she served for 22 years. Our second Clerk/Treasurer was Jim Vavrek and he served from 2001 to 2010.

Our present Clerk/Treasurer, Aaron Frank, was appointed in 2018. He began his term as Clerk/Treasurer in April of 2018, replacing John Black.
