Brosamer had a long career in the assessor’s office. She began there
in 1979, working for Supervisor Raymond Pfeifer. At that time, all
the work of maintaining parcel information and property splits, as
well as mapping, was done by hand. A lighted graphing table and
electronic graph paper were used to measure each parcel and soil
type on farm parcels. In 1981 they began using a computer-assisted
software system.
Brosamer earned the designation of Certified Illinois Assessment
Official in 1987. To maintain that designation, she has successfully
completed 30 hours of class time each year since. After passing a
statewide exam given by the Department of Revenue, she was appointed
Supervisor of Assessments in 1994, following the retirement of
Majorie Coleman.

During her tenure in the assessor’s office, Brosamer has seen
numerous changes. The office currently uses a Windows-based
system and has integrated the GIS mapping. The Computer Assisted
Mass-Appraisal System is also being implemented in the office.
 “It’s been a pleasure, as well as a true honor, to have worked
for Logan County these many years,” Brosamer said. “But, I am
looking forward to a new season in my life with my family.”
“To the many wonderful people I’ve had the pleasure of working
with and meeting through our office, I thank each and every one
of you,” she added.
