From the thriving, fast-paced, big city life of San Diego then Boise, new Bentley City Clerk Lisa Frederick had no idea the small town Kansas lifestyle was going to come calling. But it did, and the new face in the Bentley City Office has embraced the slower pace. “I am a project manager by trade, which is high stress, quick response, patience to manage many trades, budgets, timelines,” she said. “When this position opened, I thought, ‘Wow, maybe that is something I would be able to do and just down the street from my home. Who could ask for more?’ I was at the point in my career that I was ready to leave the stressful position of project management and really try something new. I wanted to be a part of our community, so I thought this would be a great way to serve the people and be a part of this fantastic town.” Frederick wasn’t exactly a stranger to Kansas. She and her husband had followed their son to Kansas from Idaho to be closer to their three granddaughters. The couple had been living with their son for about a year to make sure Kansas was where they wanted to be and to find what they thought could be the perfect location.
