The firsts, tested one by one with its settler, and every woman the reached record does name

1993–2026 · NAMED GAP — SETTLER: THE SBOA SCHEDULES OF OFFICIALS AND THE TOWN MINUTE BOOKS

The verdict first, because this row's discipline is the verdict: every "first woman" claim for this town — first woman on the council, first woman council president, first woman clerk or clerk-treasurer — turns on two records: the Town of Osceola's council minute books, and the Schedules of Officials printed in the State Board of Accounts' audits of the town. Those are the same settler class as this build's clerk-treasurer gap (GAP-OSGOV-2) and government gap GAP-OSGOV-6, and the reached SBOA schedule covers only the 2013–2017 audit years. No earlier schedule and no minute book was reached in this run, and therefore no first is asserted anywhere in this article: the item closes NAMED GAP, settler: the complete run of SBOA audit Schedules of Officials for the Town of Osceola, read against the town council minute books, either of which can settle every first below in an afternoon and neither of which the open record replaces. What the reached record does name, printed at reached strength and expressly not as firsts: in the clerk line, Donna Reinholtz stands as Town Clerk in May 1993, and Denese Thornburg as clerk-treasurer from 1 January 2012 through 31 December 2019 on the SBOA schedule — still listed in the IIMC newsletters of Summer 2023 and Winter 2024, and gone from the office by 18 January 2024, when Bristol's minutes record her beginning there as utility clerk on 8 January 2024. In the council line, the SBOA schedule names Brenda Cruz council president for 2016 and Debra Davis council president from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2018 — Cruz the earliest woman council president in the reached schedule, followed immediately by Davis, the two of them holding the presidency for three consecutive years in the middle of the last decade. Before them the schedule's presidents are James Loney (2013) and Robert Schrock (2013–2015), and the sitting 2024–27 council — Nicolas Hanlon (president), Joseph Nehls, Peter Quist — is all men. The current (2024–27) clerk-treasurer is unnamed in every record reached (GAP-OSGOV-2); a Christina Miller appears in the town's 2025 Gateway compensation data, unconfirmed as the officeholder, and is printed here as an unconfirmed lead and nothing more. If the minute books one day show a woman on the council in 1975 or a woman clerk in 1960, the firsts move to her; until they are read, this article's honesty is its whole content — the women who demonstrably held this town's offices are named, dated, and not decorated with a word the record hasn't earned.
