Councilmember Greg W. Evans resigns, effective July 28, citing job-related travel
Summary
Councilmember Greg W. Evans submitted a resignation letter effective July 28, 2025, saying a recent job promotion requiring significant travel prevents him from continuing to serve.
Councilmember Greg W. Evans submitted his resignation to Mayor Tony Deaver and fellow council members at the regular meeting on July 28, 2025. In a letter read into the record, Evans wrote that a recent job promotion requiring significant travel left him unable to dedicate the time needed to serve the mayor, council, staff and Eureka residents.
Evans's letter thanked colleagues and staff for their collaboration and said he remained willing to assist during the transition. The resignation was recorded as effective July 28, 2025.
Context: Council members spoke in the meeting about Evans's contributions, particularly to sewer and water matters, and thanked him for his service. The transcript also records a health update provided to the council indicating Evans recently underwent open-heart surgery and had been released from care and was recuperating at home; that portion of the record is informational and was not presented as part of the resignation letter.
Next steps: The council did not take a vote on filling the vacancy at the July 28 meeting; staff and the mayor will follow the city's procedures for addressing a council vacancy per municipal code and board policy.
