Utility superintendent submits resignation; council accepts and opens recruitment, approves computer buyback but denies phone sale
Summary
Utility superintendent Nick submitted a resignation effective 08/29/2026; the council accepted the resignation, opened a 10-business-day application window for his replacement, and voted to allow the departing employee to buy back his work computer at fair market value (subject to IT backup checks) but denied the phone request while releasing the phone number.
The council recorded a formal resignation letter stating: "please accept this as my formal resignation for my position as utility superintendent for the town of Mulberry, effective 08/29/2026." The board voted to accept the resignation and directed staff to open recruitment and begin a 10-business-day application period for the wastewater/wastewater-supervisor position; the council said any applicant must meet licensing requirements (a WW2 wastewater license) and pass background checks.
Council debated whether to permit the departing superintendent to purchase town equipment. One member moved to allow him to buy back the work computer at fair market value provided town IT verified backups and removed any unbacked town records; that motion passed 2-1. The phone buyback was denied, though the council agreed to release the phone number so the departing employee could retain contact information.
Council members discussed compensation ranges for the replacement (the transcript notes a range of about $28–32 per hour for a candidate holding a WW2 license) and said they would aim to have a new hire in place to allow some overlap and training before the superintendent’s last day.
