VALE – City manager Russ Kirkpatrick abruptly resigned Tuesday night after a marathon executive session during the Vale City Council’s regular meeting.
The move means city officials will be back in the hunt for a person to fill Vale’s top administrative spot – the fourth such search in two years.
Kirkpatrick declined to go into detail about why he resigned and city elected officials reached Wednesday by the Enterprise did not offer a specific explanation for the decision.
“I serve at the pleasure of the city council. They wanted to go down a different road,” said Kirkpatrick Wednesday.
