Officials Biographies
Norman E. Yoder, Mayor
Mayor Yoder has
lived in Auburn most of his life. He graduated from Auburn High School and
from Purdue University's Engineering School with honors. He and his wife
Peg
have owned & operated several businesses, including Yoder & Yoder
concrete and Joshua’s Restaurant. While they have sold both these
businesses, they currently own and operate the Skatin Station. He has been
active in many community projects, and is most proud of serving on the
building committee for the Eckhart Public Library Expansion and Renovation
Project. He and his wife enjoy boating and fishing at their lake cottage.
Patricia M. Miller, Clerk-Treasurer
Patty moved to Auburn from South Haven, Michigan at the age of fifteen.
After graduating from DeKalb High School in 1976, she began working for
the City of Auburn. Her first City position was in Customer Service and
Utility Billing. She was promoted to Utility Office Manager in 1998
where she managed the utility office staff and worked under the direct
supervision of the Clerk-Treasurer. In 2002 she was again promoted, this
time to Utility Operation Supervisor. After much soul searching, she
decided to run for Clerk-Treasurer in 2003 and took office in January
2004. Since that time she has been a leader in improving the myriad of
City financial operations through technology and policy innovation. In
addition, progressive new utility billing and project accounting
applications are underway. Look for updates on these exciting projects
at the City’s website!
In her spare time she enjoys walking for
exercise, spending time with her son, Cory, and staying involved with
the Auburn Classic Lions Club and the DeKalb County Republican Women’s
Club. She thoroughly enjoys the challenges of serving her community in a
political capacity and looks forward to all the technological advances
and challenges facing our fine city.
