Shane Chamberlin

Hello Citizens of Wauseon, Ohio, my name is Shane Chamberlin and I would like to THANK YOU for electing me to my 5th term as member of the Wauseon City Council.  Hard to believe I just completed my 16th year on Council, it seems just like yesterday I had my fingers crossed hoping to have your support in 2007. 

As for a little background, I was born in 1976 in Wauseon, Ohio. I was raised in Delta, Ohio and graduated from Delta High School in 1994. In 1998 I graduated from Defiance College (Defiance, Ohio) with a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice. In July of 1998 Judge James Barber of the Fulton County Common Pleas Court hired me as his Chief Adult Probation Officer. This is a position I retain to this day. In June of 2000, I married Keri (Unger) and we have been blessed with two of the best children in the world, Maddux and Macy. I have been a proud and active resident of Wauseon since 1999.

My goal as a legislature is provide the most transparent form of government possible.  I personally invite members of the public to attend any number of our Council meetings.  Council meetings take place on the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month, with a prompt start time of 5:00pm.  Council members also gather on the Thursdays before those Monday night meetings for what is called “Committee of the Whole”.  These Thursday meetings begin at 7:15am.  Both the Monday night and Thursday morning meetings take place in the City Building inside council chambers (2nd floor) and all of these meetings are open to public attendance. 

Communication is extremely important and Citizens will find many different ways to contact me.  Of course I love to hear of all the compliments when it comes to your experience within our beautiful City but I also realize there may be times when Citizens have concerns.  Both compliments and concerns will receive the same level of responsivity from me.  I prefer email communication and my email address is listed above.  You can also find me on Facebook.  If you prefer to call or text, my cell phone number is 419-388-5189.  Again, thank you for your continued support and in return I will continue to put the Citizens of Wauseon first!!
