Resignations and Appointments

Resignations and Appointments

Life Happens.

People are elected as mayor or member of city council, commission, or board of commissioners because they truly and deeply care about their city. But life happens and though that person may have the greatest desire to continue to serve, they may come to the hard realization that they need to resign from their seat as mayor or as a legislative body member.

Resignations and appointments make up a surprisingly large volume of the calls that we receive at KLC. When a resignation occurs, tensions and emotions often are running high. KLC developed this simple step-by-step guide as a helpful tool for our cities to follow.
