Tom Boggs has resigned from the Sutherlin City Council.

A November 15th letter to city officials from Boggs said his resignation would be effective as of December 1st.

Deputy City Recorder Melanie Masterfield said Boggs current term ended at the conclusion of 2022. Though he was re-elected for a four-year term in the November General Election, Boggs chose not to take the seat.

The council will officially accept his resignation at their meeting January 9th. They will then declare the seat vacant.

Boggs is a retired Police Chief for the City of Sutherlin and had been on the council for over a decade.
