Roman Forest City Council member Jerry Reasner announced he is set to resign from his position during the council’s March 18 workshop.
The details
Reasner, who was elected to the Place 3 council member position in 2024, would have been up for reelection in November.
Reasner said he’s been forced to miss several council meetings following the death of a family member, noting he’d likely miss more if he didn’t opt to step down.
“I love this, and I've had a lot of fun," Reasner said. "Unfortunately, I've had to submit my resignation, because it's the right thing to do."
What they’re saying
Mayor Pro Tem Mitchell Davis said it has been an honor working with Reasner.
“Personally and on behalf of the city, I'd like to thank you for your years of service, not just on council, but for everything else you do for the city,” Davis said.
Position 2 council member David Mullane echoed Davis’ sentiment.
“You’re a good man,” Mullane. “You’ve always been around for this city, and I salute you for that.”
What’s next
Reasner said he was unsure who would be appointed to take his seat on the council, noting he will be available until that person is found.
“Until I’m formally replaced, I’ll be here on the City Council,” Reasner said.
