North Adams Council Reappoints City Clerk

By Tammy Daniels iBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The City Council on Tuesday unanimously reappointed City Clerk Tina Leonesio for a three-year term to end in January 2028.
 
Council President Bryan Sapienza recommended her reappointment.
 
"I would not make this recommendation if I had not had full confidence in Clerk Leonesio," he said. "It's been a pleasure working with you over the past year as president of the council."
 
She was immediately sworn in by Assistant Clerk Melissa Kilbride. 
 
Leonesio brought calm to an office that had had a rotating roster of clerks since 2019. Promoted from assistant to city clerk in May 2023, she was the fourth clerk in less than 18 months and the fifth since the retirement of Marilyn Gomeau, who was clerk for more than15 years. 
 
"I just want to thank Clerk Leonesio for the work that she's done," said Councilor Lisa Blackmer, who motioned to reappoint her. "She stepped in, stepped up. ... I appreciate the work that she's done."
 
She noted that Leonesio has successfully navigated some contentious elections, worked with the mayor's office to develop a budget and hired staff, and kept the council on track with minutes and agendas.
