Sutter Creek City Council
Amador County – Long-time Sutter Creek City Councilman and Mayor Protempore Bill Hepworth submitted a letter of resignation last week, citing health concerns and doctor’s orders that he take it easy. In a letter dated March 8th, to the mayor and co-councilmembers, Hepworth resigned effective immediately, saying: “My doctor has advised me that my health will no longer permit me to keep my commitment to the city council.” He wrote that “It’s no secret that I haven’t been well, and although I had hoped things would get better, I find I can no longer keep up the standard of work that I prefer to do.” He thanked Mayor Gary Wooten and other council members, with whom he “enjoyed serving the community since 1998,” and he wished them success in their “continued efforts to promote, beautify and preserve the city of Sutter Creek.” The city council last night accepted the resignation letter. We’ll have on the information on what was decided in our afternoon news broadcast. Story by Jim Reece This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
