When Moraga's Town Clerk, Marty McInturf, attended a recent dinner meeting of the Northern California chapter of the City Clerks Association of California she was not expecting anything special. Deep in conversation with her colleagues and their spouses, she wasn't paying particular attention to the speaker-but through the din of the background noise, she suddenly recognized her name. "I turned around to see what was going on, and everyone was looking at me," she said. McInturf was unaware that she had been nominated for the Association's Award of Distinction, so the announcement that she won came as a complete surprise. Had she known, she added with a smile, "I would have brought a camera."
"We nominated her because she really stands out," said Moraga Town Manager Jill Keimach. "Marty holds two clerk positions, one full-time in Moraga, and one part-time as an elected clerk in Pleasant Hill. Both I and my Pleasant Hill counterpart nominated her. We both agree that she is very professional in all aspects of her positions, and I think that she has the strongest work ethic that I've ever seen."
McInturf said that she was already serving in Pleasant Hill when she was hired in Moraga. "I had a commitment with Pleasant Hill, I could not resign," she explained. The result is longer days and nights and double Council meeting duties. "Marty is very good at keeping both jobs separate," added Keimach. Among the other qualities that make McInturf special, according to Keimach, is her attention to detail, her sense of humor and her availability to interact with residents who call her with questions of all kinds.
McInturf, who was raised in Moraga and has a special fondness for the town, did not confirm whether or not she would run again for the Pleasant Hill position in November.
