Cherryvale will soon need a new City Administrator.
At last night's meeting, the city council accepted Jonathan Booe's resignation. Booe was recently hired as County Administrator for Montgomery County, which is a newly created position.
Council Member Steve Strickland made the motion to accept the resignation.
Booe will start his new job with the county on July 8th.
In other business at last night's meeting, the council also accepted a $16,000 grant towards a new comprehensive plan for the city. The last plan was completed in 1979. The grant ended up being less than expected, so the council members approved just over $33,000 in addition to the grant to fund the plan, which Booe says should guide development for the next 30 to 50 years.
The plan analyzes everything in the city including neighborhoods, housing and growth potential.
Also in other business, Booe gave an update on the cemetery, saying an extension agent believes the bare patches are a result of soil compaction and are not a result of chemicals. Soil samples will be collected once things dry out.
