RE: City Clerk Treasurer Kara Paxton — Out of Office due to Medical Procedure
Mayor Lioneld Jordan,
Due to a medical procedure, I will be unavailable to sign documents or attend meetings starting
November 11th, 2024. 1 plan to be back in the office as of November 25th, 2024. Senior Deputy City
Clerk Treasurer Jackson Shelton or Deputy City Clerk — Codifier Courtney Spohn will notify you
should these dates change.
The recommended recovery time for my medical procedure (Spinal Cord Stimulator Implant) ranges
from 4 to 8 weeks. The surgeon stated that I must be off work for at least one week. The surgeon also
encouraged me to utilize telework options in the weeks following the initial surgery week. He also
stated that should I need to physically come to work, I need to park as close to the building as
possible, no lifting/carrying heavy or large objects, and no sudden twisting or turning.
In my absence, I authorize Senior Deputy City Clerk Treasurer Jackson Shelton to attest your (Mayor
Lioneld Jordan) signature. Should an issue arise that Mr. Shelton is not available to sign within a 24-
hour timeframe, I authorize Deputy City Clerk — Codifier Courtney Spohn to sign in our absence.
As the official custodian of the City's seal, I authorize Mr. Shelton and Ms. Spohn to use the seal for
official purposes only.
Please direct city staff to route all Alcohol Permits to Mr. Shelton for review and electronic signature.
Please notify the Accounting Department that check requests will be reviewed and signed by Ms.
Spohn before being emailed to the Accounting Department. Ms. Spohn will also be responsible for
approving purchase requests submitted November 11th — November 15th, 2024.
Mr. Shelton and Ms. Spohn will go above and beyond to ensure that our office continues to support
all our internal and external customers while I am out of office. Over the last 3 years Ms. Spohn has
continuously demonstrated her professionalism and advanced skillset in her positions. Mr. Shelton
has been with our office for almost 2 years now and has consistently impressed me by going above
and beyond in his work duties. I am confident that Mr. Shelton and Ms. Spohn will successfully
manage the office while I am out.
