Gilpin Township zoning officer Sharon Long resigns effective immediately
Summary
Sharon Long submitted a written resignation citing recent events, 17 years of service without raises and a $4,000-per-year pay rate she said is no longer sustainable; the board recorded the resignation and said it will begin a search for a replacement.
Sharon Long submitted a letter to the Gilpin Township Board resigning "from the position of zoning officer for Gilpin Township effective immediately," a resignation the chair read aloud to the board during new business.
In the letter Long wrote that she had served 17 years in the role and said she never received raises while prior zoning officers did; she wrote that recent events and the $4,000 annual stipend made it untenable to continue alongside her regular employment. The board did not require a formal motion to accept the resignation and the chair said the township will be on the search for a new zoning officer and will add code-enforcement duties to the next agenda. "I have held the position of zoning officer for Gilpin Township for 17 years without any raises," the letter states.
