Summary
Mayor Pro Tem Jim Reeb announced his resignation at the Jan. 21 meeting, saying he is relocating outside Parker; council members offered praise and the council did not take formal action on filling the vacancy at the meeting.
Mayor Pro Tem Jim Reeb told the Parker City Council on Jan. 21 that he will resign his council seat because he is relocating outside the city.
"This comes with a heavy heart," Reeb said during the meeting, describing Parker as his home for 25 years and saying he was leaving to "downsize" for family reasons. "It's been just such a pleasure," he added.
Council members responded with words of appreciation for his service; the mayor called Reeb "one hell of an asset to this city." The council discussed replacement procedure briefly but did not deliberate on or decide how to fill the vacancy during the open meeting, noting that discussions about the method of replacement may be restricted by law.
The resignation was announced during the meeting's individual-consideration segment; no formal vote to accept the resignation or to appoint a replacement was recorded in the public transcript for Jan. 21.
