Eagleville Councilman Resigns

Eagleville Councilman Greg Buchanan has resigned from his council seat effective Feb. 4 because he has moved from the city.

The first term councilman submitted his resignation letter last week. His term would have expired in 2010.

The remaining city council members could possibly consider accepting Buchanan’s resignation at their next council meeting.

According to the city charter, the remaining members of the city council may select someone now to fill Buchanan’s vacant council seat by a majority vote. That person would serve until this year’s November city council election.

In the November election, voters would elect who they want to fill the remaining two years of Buchanan’s unexpired term. Then the seat would come up for election for a full four-year term in 2010.

Three other council seats will be up for election this year, which are those of Vice Mayor Ronnie Hill and Councilmen M.A. Smitty and Terry Zumbro.

Hill said earlier he plans to seek re-election for one more term. Zumbro said he had not made up his mind yet about running for re-election, and Smitty could not be reached for comment.

Other city seats up for election in 2010 include those of Mayor Nolan Barham and Councilmen Harold Vincion and David Rigsby.
