Longtime Unalaska city clerk Elizabeth Masoni is stepping down next month, and on Friday, the city announced a replacement. Deputy clerk Catherine “Cat” Hazen will move up to the head position when Masoni retires in May.

According to a press release, Hazen has worked for the city since 1999 -- first in finance, then as deputy clerk starting in 2010. She got her municipal clerk certification last year.

This transition puts a cap on Elizabeth Masoni’s 15 years working at city hall. She’s retiring along with her husband, head librarian Dan Masoni.
