Summary
After an executive session Jan. 12, Morgan Township accepted the resignation of Administrator Dale Marshall, who said he will vacate his position immediately; trustees discussed temporary coverage and a review of recent permits before the next meeting.
Dale Marshall, Morgan Township’s administrator, announced his resignation during the Jan. 12 trustee meeting and said he would begin removing his personal belongings the next day and no longer affiliate with township administration. “I hereby resign my position as the only administrator for Morgan Township,” Marshall said after the board returned from executive session.
Trustees moved to accept Marshall’s resignation; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. The board did not provide an extended public rationale during the open session.
The board discussed interim steps for township operations after accepting Marshall’s resignation. Trustees agreed to review recently issued zoning certificates and permits and to ask members of the zoning and BZA panels to assist with a short-term review. The board also raised the possibility of asking zoning enforcement staff (Darren) to cover administrative permit tasks temporarily while the trustees identify longer-term options.
Trustees set the next regular meeting for Feb. 1 and said they would pursue immediate steps — including convening volunteers from the BZA and zoning commission — to ensure continuity of permit processing and public services until an interim or permanent administrator is selected.
No additional personnel actions or a timeline for filling the administrator position were announced at the meeting. The board instructed staff to provide access materials (computer passwords and documentation) from Marshall as part of the transition.
