Tanner Resigns from Delta Village Council, Thomas Elected Vice-Mayor
Following the Pledge of Allegiance and roll call to begin the October 3rd Delta Village Council meeting, Mayor Frank Wilton read a letter addressed to the Council from Councilman Michael Tanner. The letter read:
“It has been my honor to serve our community and be a part of this council. Regrettably, I must resign from this council as I have purchased a home outside of our village limits. I would like to thank all the village staff, all members of council, our mayor, and all village members for the opportunity to serve and knowledge I have gained from this experience. I leave with the utmost respect for the village and complete confidence in our council’s direction for it. Sincerely, Michael Tanner.”
Speaking after the letter was read, Mr. Tanner commented, “I’d like to thank all of you for everything I’ve gained from this. It has meant a lot to be a part of the leadership of this community for the time that I have. I’ll be around if anybody needs anything.”
With the resignation of Mr. Tanner, who also served as the Village’s Vice-Mayor, Law Director Kevin Heban informed the Council that a new Vice-Mayor needed to be elected. Councilwoman Lynn Frank nominated Councilman Art Thomas for the position. Mr. Thomas was elected unanimously.
The resignation, which was effective immediately, creates a vacancy on the Council that must be filled. The Village will be soliciting for qualified individuals to replace Mr. Tanner.
