Live Oak council accepts resignation of public works director J.L. Lee, begins replacement process
Summary
The council voted to accept the resignation of the city’s public works director, J.L. Lee, and discussed recruitment steps; staff reported three applicants and said outreach would mirror prior searches.
The City Council of the City of Live Oak voted on Feb. 25 to accept the resignation of the city’s public works director, J.L. Lee, and directed staff to proceed with recruitment.
During agenda item 5d, Speaker 2 moved "that we accept the resignation [of the] previous public works director so that we can move on with hiring another." The motion was seconded and the chair called the question; council members responded in the affirmative and accepted a resignation letter from J.L. Lee.
Councilors then discussed next steps. A staff member said the resignation had been turned in to the appropriate department and that, at that time, three applicants had already applied. Council members agreed to a wide-area recruitment approach similar to the previous search and referenced staff assistance from Miss Yolanda.
The transcript records no further details about the candidates, the job posting, or a hiring timeline. Councilors indicated interviews would be scheduled; staff said they planned to keep the posting open for a short period ("probably end of the week" was referenced). No appointment or hire was made during the meeting.
The council’s acceptance of the resignation was a formal action recorded in the meeting; the transcript does not provide a full roll-call vote with names, only the chair’s call for "all in favor" followed by vocal assent.
