The resignation of councilman Jim Hoffman was accepted during a Monday, April 29, meeting of the West Liberty Village Council.
Hoffman (pictured right), has served as a council member since 2021.
He returned to full-time teaching as a member of the nursing faculty at Rhodes State College, Lima, in the fall of 2022, and no longer feels able to juggle that with his council duties. “Boy, it’s a big loss for us,” council president Jayne Griffith said.
Information regarding filling the now-empty seat will be included in the full, in-depth article in Thursday’s edition.
