The City of Two Rivers has released the resignation letter submitted by former City Manager Kyle Kordell.
In the letter, Kordell said that he and his family reflected on their priorities over the past year, including the future they envisioned for their children, and the type of community in which they hoped to raise them.
Kordell then stated, “While we had hoped to establish lasting roots here, our experiences have ultimately led us to conclude that a fresh start elsewhere is in our family’s best interests.”
He went on to say, “Life is short, and family comes first. As we look toward new opportunities and greener pastures, I will carry forward the lessons and accomplishments developed during my service to Two Rivers.”
He also highlighted several topics that he played a part in implementing, including fiscal reform, public safety overtime, school bus safety, and housing development, among others.
Kordell’s resignation was accepted by the City Council on November 2nd, one day after he was arrested on charges of Disorderly Conduct and Battery, each with Domestic Violence enhancers.
He was arrested two more times for violating a domestic abuse injunction, but it appears as though that injunction has been dismissed.
The full letter can be read below.
