Mayor's Office
Bedford City Hall is located in a former Federalist style private home that was built in 1850. The
Mayor's Office has called it home since 1904, making it one of the oldest continuously
located city halls in Indiana. The ancient building houses the office of Shawna
M. Girgis. Shawna is Bedford's 23rd Mayor, as well as, the first female Mayor in
our city's history.
The City Clerk-Treasurer and her staff occupy the back portion of the building.
The Police Department’s D.A.R.E. Program, Public Relations Office, and Planning
Office are upstairs at this historic structure that is located at 1102 Sixteenth
Street.
The Mayor's Office is staffed by Debbi Andry and Marla Jones. Debbi is
the Mayor's Assistant and Office Manager. Marla is the city's Community
Director.
As the center of the city’s day-to-day operations, the office coordinates the activities
of the various city departments, engages in short and long-range planning, works
closely with groups and agencies concerned with municipal and social progress, and
fields countless daily contacts with the general public.
