Mayor Greg Wright announced his resignation effective immediately at the Stratford City Council meeting on Nov. 25.
According to the minutes, Wright read a formal resignation letter in which he expressed gratitude to City Manager Tommy Bogart, city staff, Fire Chief Justin Lanning, Police Chief Richard Coborn and Kathy Allen of the Sherman County Economic Development Committee and said he is moving to a new city to begin a business venture. City Manager Tommy Bogart said the council typically does not meet in December unless urgent matters arise and that the next meeting's agenda will include an item to formally accept the mayor's resignation and determine next steps.
The minutes do not record discussion of an interim mayor or succession procedure; the council will need to act at a future meeting to accept the resignation and follow its established procedures for filling a vacancy.
