The clerk-treasurer: Terri Buckmaster, in office since 2012

THE STATE AUDIT'S LINE FROM JANUARY 1, 2012 · THE CURRENT HOLDER ON THE TOWN'S OWN PAGE

The clerk-treasurer's office is the one seat in Walkerton's government whose line the State's paper carries unbroken into the present term. The State Board of Accounts' 2015 supplemental compliance report names the clerk-treasurer from January 1, 2012, and its audit for 2016–2018 prints her term as January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2019; the town's government page, crawled October 2, 2026, still lists her in the office, with a deputy staff under her: Lexia Pearish, accounts payable; Avalon Morris, utility billing; and Karen Groves, EMS billing. Her name carries this section's smallest conflict, printed whole as the sources give it: the town spells her Terri Buckmaster; the State Board of Accounts spells her Theresa Buckmaster. Both forms print; the town's spelling governs the body of this section, as the official source closest to the office. The office's work is the town's paper whole: clerk of the council, keeper of the ordinances, and the town's money — including the utility billing for the town's own water and electric systems and the billing for the fire territory's ambulance service, which is why an EMS billing deputy sits in the clerk's office and not the fire station.
