The Heart of City Hall: A Tribute to Clerks
Raquel Felzien - Committed to her Community
A lot of work goes into keeping a town alive, and few understand this better than municipal clerks. Raquel Felzien exemplifies what it means to be an outstanding municipal clerk. A lifelong resident of Franklin, Nebraska, Raquel has served as a municipal clerk for 25 years while also raising her two children. The life of a clerk is never the same from one day to the next, Raquel explains, “There are a lot of moving parts and I wear a lot of different hats. I can get a call to unlock the dump and then another that says I have to go across town to do something else.” Besides getting her steps in going from one location to another, Raquel’s day consists of many meetings. She is actively involved in numerous organizations and boards, each with its own set of responsibilities. Raquel gives it her all, working hard for the betterment of the community.
Franklin is a quiet, close-knit town—the kind that could be the backdrop of a Hallmark movie. According to Raquel, small towns have their own issues when it comes to accomplishing goals. She notes that one of the biggest challenges is community resistance to change. Additionally, Franklin’s secluded location can make accessing goods and services difficult.
Raquel lives for her hometown, she finds helping the people of Franklin to be the most rewarding part of her responsibilities. Raquel lit up when discussing the grants she helped secure for Franklin. Thanks to funding from SCEDD (South Central Economic Development District), the town will see improvements in the library and local parks, the development of new housing, and the creation of jobs.
All of Raquel’s hard work has not gone unnoticed. Mayor Margaret Siel nominated Raquel for the Outstanding Clerk of the Year in the Second-Class City, a state-wide award she was presented this year. Raquel was able to share the joy of her success with her friends, family, and the mayor. Raquel Felzien works diligently for Franklin and her success proves it.
Raquel is no stranger to change and finds technology to be a very important part of making a clerk’s life easier. She says “Technology is huge! Programs like Receipt Management and Google Calendar take a lot off her plate.” Raquel believes that moving to the cloud and upgrading the technology used in Franklin will further streamline things.
Municipal clerks are the backbone of our communities, ensuring they remain strong and vibrant. Raquel exemplifies this spirit through her years of service and the countless ways she gives back—always with heart, humility, and dedication. With her leadership and care, she continues to help guide her community into a bright future.
