Market Landscape
Under Beaumont's structure, the city clerk is one of four officers the City Council appoints, alongside the city attorney, city manager and chief magistrate. The retirement of a long-serving appointed officer means the Council will select her successor rather than voters, as the charter provides.
Residents who deal with the city clerk's office will see a change in leadership when Broussard-Francis retires at the end of 2026. The clerk's successor will be chosen by the City Council through its appointment process.
The takeaway
Long-tenured municipal officers often shape institutional continuity, so the Council's choice of successor will determine how the clerk's office operates after Broussard-Francis leaves. Her planned consulting role through May 2027 may help bridge the transition.
What happens next
