Culver Town Manager Ginny Bess Munroe asked the Culver Town Council during their recent meeting to accept her resignation.
She submitted her resignation in mid-December.
She said the council’s 3-2 decision on December 13 to not fund Blue Zones for $25,000 in 2023 took her by surprise and would have appreciated any concerns be brought to her attention or to the attention of other Marshall County Crossroads officials before discussion or voting on that matter. She responded to that action with her resignation letter.
She said the council has historically voted to accept resignations and asked for them to take that action. She noted that her last day will be February 10, 2023.
Council President Bill Githens asked for a motion to accept the resignation and Bill Hamm made the motion. Attorney Jeanette Surrisi, who was filling in for Town Attorney Jim Clevenger, interjected and commented that the fact that Munroe submitted her resignation should be in effect and action would not be needed by the council. She noted that they cannot keep someone employed if they submitted a resignation.
With that, Munroe then commented that she wanted to make sure her last day to be in office was acceptable which was met with no opposition from council members.
Githens suggested working with the same consultants to find the next town manager as was used to hire Munroe. That was made into a motion which was unanimously approved.
