Posted

NORTH WEBSTER - North Webster Town Council members Kay Andrews, Ken Wagoner and Jeff Morgan announced the resignations of town marshal Jerry Craig and his wife, police clerk Cathy Craig, Wednesday.

Following the meeting, town clerk Peg Lawrance presented two documents regarding Craig's resignation.

The marshal tendered his resignation Sept. 6 following a special meeting for the town's initial 2002 budget hearing Sept. 5.

During that meeting, a resolution was adopted removing Craig as town marshal effective immediately. The town council and Craig have disagreed about the administration of the North Webster Police. These differences were discussed in executive sessions that were not open to the public.

In the Sept. 5 resolution Craig's employment with the town would have ended Sept. 11. His termination was never effective.

Craig served the town for 15 years.

Officer Greg Church is the acting town marshal.
