Summary
Bellevue Marshal Marshall Ganeshi told the council he will step down effective Sept. 11, praising staff and thanking the community for the opportunity to serve; council members offered public thanks and the mayor said the city will coordinate transition steps.
Marshall Ganeshi told the Mayor and Common Council that he will resign from his post as Bellevue marshal effective Sept. 11. "Serving this community has never been a job to me. It has been the greatest privilege and honor of my life," Ganeshi said in a prepared statement, describing department accomplishments including sustained 24‑hour coverage with a small team.
Mayor Christina Giordani and council members publicly thanked Ganeshi for his service; Giordani said the city will coordinate for a smooth transition and asked council to support the department until the effective date. Ganeshi said he will begin a new position with the Sun Valley Police Department in September and urged continued community support for Bellevue's marshals.
The announcement came during the public‑comment period. No council action on the resignation was recorded at the meeting; staff and council discussed next steps for ensuring coverage and handing off duties. The mayor asked staff to provide transition details to the council and public in coming weeks.
