Longtime Atlantic City Clerk Deb Wheatley Field informed the City Council and Mayor on Monday of her intention to retire from her post.  Wheatley Field’s last day on the job will be February 24, 2017 after working with the City of Atlantic for 35 years.  She told KJAN News it just felt like the right time to make the decision.

In her letter to the council Wheatley Field stated, ” I would like to thank you, as well as those past City Council members, for allowing me the honor and privilege to serve as the Atlantic City Clerk for 35 years. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as City Clerk and I am sure I will miss the job..”  She said she will miss working with the great people of Atlantic but one thing she is looking forward to is having Wednesday nights free again.

The City Council will now start the process of selecting the next City Clerk and Wheatley Field said she will help in whatever capacity the Council decides with the transition.

Deb Wheatley Field became the Atlantic City Clerk on February 1st of 1982 and once again her last day will be February 24th of 2017.
