ANDERSON PLAZA DECATUR, ILLINOIS 62523-1196 <br /> ��iti% <br /> '��LI NO�S� <br /> January 24, 2008 <br /> Mayor and City Council Members: <br /> I have decided to announce my resignation as your City Manager effective at the <br /> end of my contract, this October. This is a decision I have been considering for <br /> some time, and having made the decision to do so, I feel it is fairer to the City <br /> Council and to the Decatur voters to do this in advance of the election on <br /> February 5. In as much as the average time to replace a city manager is six to nine <br /> months, the October date will allow the council time to find a replacement and <br /> I have the new manager on board. I will assist the Council in this endeavor to <br /> whatever degree they may require. <br /> I will have served as your city manager for nine very eventful and productive <br /> years. I am grateful that this and previous councils have allowed me to grow and <br /> learn as we work together to make Decatur a better place to live. T'hrough many <br /> challenging decisions, we have together improved the quality of life in the <br /> community and I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as your manager. I also look <br /> forward to the next nine months as we work through the problems of water <br /> storage needs, improving and expanding space for our police department, <br /> attracting new business to the community and meeting all other challenges that <br /> we inevitably will face. <br /> My time in Decatur has been a very rewarding and enjoyable chapter in my life <br /> and I thank each of you for allowing me that opportunity. <br /> � <br /> Steve Garman <br /> America's Agribusiness Center <br />
