LETTER OF RESIGNATION
May 25th, 2018
Scottsboro City Hall
316 S Broad Street
Scottsboro, AL 35768
Dear Mayor Shelton, Council President Wallingsford and Members of the City Council,
It is with great difficulty and a heavy heart that I make this decision.
Due to life changes and recent job changes I will be spending more time out of town. I feel it is fair to the community at this time that I resign from my place 1 position effective June 4th.
It has been an honor to serve the citizens of Scottsboro and to serve with this council. I appreciate the respect and character you have shown me as a fellow member. I love this community and consider it home and family. I sincerely thank the community for allowing me the opportunity to serve.
Sincerely,
Jessica Butler
AGENDAS
Dock Street, Regular Session, Agenda Item 3 - 6 citizens were in attendance from the River Ridge Subdivision area.
Dock St. to be closed temporarily. Improvements to the area seriously needed, this is serious money making property, potential for private restaurant, hotel and dock area on the river is fantastic. Remember the B.B. Comer Bridge Project, this project is much simpler, much less expensive with more potential for growth and expansion of tourism.
