Laurell Taylor, Westminster City Clerk since 2002, has died
October 9, 2009
Word spread quickly through the Carroll County community yesterday Westminster City Clerk Laurell Taylor died unexpectedly at her home in the early morning.
Before she was appointed City Clerk on February 11, 2002, she had served fourteen years Carroll County government, as an in-house attorney and administrator.
In Westminster she was appointed to replace Mr. John Dudderar who retired on January 31, 2002 after 37 years of service with the city. The city received over 110 applications for the position which were reviewed by the Westminster City Clerk Selection Committee for over a month.
During her tenure with Carroll County government, the county law department completed several major projects including the codification and computerization of county laws, regular staff training sessions, and the implementation of an overhaul of county laws. All of these experiences served her well with the City of Westminster.
Taylor participated actively in statewide and national organizations that impact local municipal governments, such as the Local Government Insurance Trust (LGIT) and the International Municipal Law Officers' Association.
She was a graduate of Towson University and had a law degree from the University of Baltimore School of Law.
No further information is available at this time.
