Warsaw Mayor Jeff Plank officially notified the city council Monday of his intention to retire as mayor in March. The notice, read by council president Ernie Wiggins, was dated Jan.17 and ended with the statement: "It has been an honor to serve the people of the city of Warsaw." Plank publicly announced his decision Friday to take a job in the private sector.His written notice Monday was a formality. The council approved a contract with H.J.Umbaugh & Associates of Plymouth for a financial analysis of city sewer rates and fees.The analysis will help the city decide if sewer bills should be raised in anticipation of the city taking on new debt by extending sewer services to such areas as Shady Crest.
