Myers announces resignation
from City Council

By Lisa Casterline

City Councilman Larry Myers officially announced his resignation at last night’s city council meeting. Myers’ resignation will be effective January 1, 2003.

“I anticipate moving out of Ward 3 and will not be able to represent the people if I am not living in Ward 3,” said Myers. “I just wanted to give everyone time to prepare.”
Myers said he could possibly be moving to Arizona sometime in the future. His wife Norma recently accepted a position with Bank of America and is commuting back and forth between Derby and Phoenix. Myers has not ruled out also traveling back and forth.

“I have been really honored to have had the opportunity to serve on the Council,” said Myers. “Derby is still home no matter where I may live or where I may go.”

Myers said that he has seen the Council accomplish many things in the four years he has held the position. He said he believes that the Council’s ability to work with businesses interested in starting up in Derby is a great attribute for the City. The construction of the Police and Court building was one of the highlights of his time on the Council. Myers also gave a lot of credit to Derby Mayor Richard Standrich for the improvements made in Derby.
