Baumgartner was previously the chief deputy city clerk for Des Moines and took on additional responsibilities following the retirement of former city clerk, Paula (Kay) Cmelik, in May 2022. Baumgartner’s extensive experience serving Des Moines residents, business owners, and the City Council led to the decision behind the promotion and will prove valuable in the City’s goal of being a high performing city organization.
