Action in Tuesday, April 17, 2018 C/A EDA board meeting
Randy Burns had thought that letter of resignation was emailed, and in the excitement of settling in to a new job, was under the impression that it had been done. He wrote, "I wish nothing but the best for each of you as you continue to work for the betterment of this community we all love so much."

Burns letter of resignationfollows:



Mr Burns' letter, dated March 20, 2018 read:
"To Mark Dykes, Mayor Curtis Hardwick, and Judge Executive Mike Stephens.

"Gentlemen:

"First, thank you for the opportunity to serve my community for the past four years as a member of the Columbia-Adair County Economic Development Authority. Due to a recent career change I now work in Lexington, KY, and will be relocating my family to the central Kentucky area this summer. Please consider this my letter of resignation from this board.

"Additionally, it has come to my attention that I must apologize for the tardiness of this letter. I resigned from Lindsey Wilson College in November. On the same day I drafted my letter of resignation from the EDA. I have been under the impression that I emailed that letter to you at that time, but obviously, in the excitement of that day I had failed to do so. Someone recently brought it to my attention that a Columbiamagazine.com article addressed the fact that I had not officially done so. Again, My most sincere apologies and I wish nothing but the best for each of you as you continue to work for the betterment of this community we all love so much.

"If there is anything else I can do for you, please let me know.

"Sincerely,
Randy Burns."
