Vandalia’s Assistant to the City Manager will retiring in January after 32 years with the city.

Julie Trick is a graduate of Vandalia-Butler High School and Ohio University. Once she graduated college, she worked as a reporter for the Vandalia Drummer news.

Trick began her employment with the city in 1987 as a Community Information Officer and was later promoted to Human Resources Director in 1995 before taking her current position in 2007.

Trick has been an integral member of the city’s management team, played a role in the hiring of many current staff members, been in charge of managing health insurance, and supervising communication projects.

In Trick’s letter of resignation, she wrote, “The City of Vandalia and its leaders, both past and present, have offered me an opportunity that few are blessed to enjoy. I have been able to work, learn and grow while putting my family first. For that, I am eternally grateful. The employees of our organization and the citizens and partners of this community are exceptional. I would be remiss in not expressing my gratitude to them, as well. As a lifelong resident here, I plan to remain involved and look forward to continued associations and friendships."
