City Attorney Norton withdraws resignation; council accepts
Summary
City Attorney Norton told council her earlier concerns had been mitigated and requested to withdraw her resignation; the council voted unanimously to accept the withdrawal and retain her services.
City Attorney Norton asked the Soap Lake City Council on May 6 to withdraw her earlier resignation, saying the concerns she expressed in her resignation letter "had been mitigated." The council voted unanimously to accept the withdrawal and continue with Norton as legal counsel.
Motion to accept the withdrawal was made and seconded; no additional terms or conditions were recorded in the transcript. Norton told the council she would be glad to continue assisting the city as legal counsel if they wished.
Why it matters: the withdrawal maintains continuity of legal services for the city and avoids an immediate vacancy in the city attorney role. The council did not discuss a replacement or any personnel action after accepting the withdrawal.
