City Elected Officials

Mayor Pat Miletich

I have served on the City Council since February 2000, when I was appointed to fill a vacancy. I have been a member of all of the standing committees and have served as chair of the Park and Recreation committee, the Water committee, the Street and Sanitation committee and the Police and Housing committee. I have served three years as mayor pro-tem under former mayor John I. Ballensky and was appointed Sigourney's first woman mayor in December 2006. It is an honor to serve my community in this capacity.

I have lived in Sigourney since 1965 and retired in 2006 from teaching at the Sigourney High School. I am a mother of two and Nana to five. I am a member of the Sigourney Christian Church, Chapter L., P.E.O., Sigourney Healthy Environment Project (SHEP), Area 15 Regional Planning Commission, and RPA 15 Policy Board.

I am committed to the continuous effort to make Sigourney a great place to live now and in the future.

Councilman Ed Conrad

I am a lifelong resident of Keokuk County, Iowa.  I started school in Sigourney (k and 1), went to 2, 3 and 4 in Harper at the Catholic school, completed middle school and junior high at the Catholic school in Keota, and attended 9 through 12 at Keota. 

I ventured all the way to Iowa City to attend college.  I acquired a BBA in accounting from the U of I College of Business, and a JD from the U of I College of Law.  I worked my way through college, and was appointed as Keokuk County magistrate prior to my last semester of law school.  I graduated from law school in 1988, and was admitted to the Iowa State Bar Association in February 1989. 

I started my own practice in Sigourney and continued working as magistrate.  In 1994 I began full time practice. I am married to Denise, and we have two boys Eddie II and Mac.  This year we are lucky enough to have a daughter, Sil.  She is a foreign exchange student from Brazil that we are happy to be hosting.  I enjoy outdoor activities (hunting, fishing, golf, and coaching).  I love watching football and would like to have a bigger woodworking shop.

Councilman Jeff Johnson

Two years ago the former mayor, John Ballensky, invited me to fill a vacancy on the City Council. I have served the Third Ward now for two years and I am up for re-election this fall.

I serve on three city committees. I am a member of the Water and Street Committees and I am chairman of the Finance Committee. I am also Mayor Pro-tem.

I am employed as Bank Manager and Vice President of MidWestOne Bank in Sigourney. My wife, Linda, and I have lived in Sigourney for five years now. We have six adult children and a handful of grandchildren. I am presently the SADC President and the SENECA Treasurer.

Being a part of the City Council has given me another excellent outlet for community service. I have thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of city government. We have a special group of dedicated and competent people running our town from the City staff to the new Mayor to the other Council members.

Councilwoman Jill Moore

I have lived in Sigourney since 1992 with my husband, Harrison. We have 5 adult children and 8 grandchildren.

I was raised in the Midwest and have many wonderful memories of living in a small town. I also lived in the Houston, Texas area for nearly 14 years and enjoyed the challenges and opportunities of a large city. Returning to the rural area to live and work in Sigourney has been very rewarding and enjoyable. I am honored to have the opportunity to serve this community.

My professional background is in the medical field. I am a respiratory therapist and have many years of hospital experience, as a therapist and department manager. I have worked for the University of Iowa, College of Public Health as a research assistant with the Keokuk County Rural Health Study since 1996. This position has given me the opportunity to meet and know many people who live in Keokuk County.

I ran for city council in the November 2005 election serving the Second Ward. I serve on three committees: Park and Recreation, Streets and Sanitation and am chairman of the Water Committee. Learning the business of our city is very detailed. I hope to serve the people well.

After college and law school I returned to Sigourney in 2007 with my husband, Casey, who is also a life-long Sigourney resident. I now practice law in Keokuk and Mahaska counties from my office in Oskaloosa.
