Another resignation!
Alexandria Alderman Jonathon Tripp has submitted his resignation less than a month after his wife, Beth Tripp stepped down as mayor
During Tuesday night’s special called meeting, the Alexandria Aldermen voted to accept Alderman Tripp’s resignation.
Mayor Jeff Ford read the letter
“Dear Mayor Ford, It has been an experience serving the town council. I find that I will not be able to fulfill the term of office. I am aware the council is to have earlier meetings starting at 5 p.m. which the board already knows is during my work hours and I would not be able to attend. I do not wish to contest the board on when to have meetings nor do I want to hinder any other member which earlier time would be best. I believe it would best serve the council if I officially resign my position as alderman effective June 26, 2025. I want the best for the town and I hope for the town’s success. Sincerely, Jonathon Tripp”.
The current makeup of the Alexandria town council includes Mayor Jeff Ford and Aldermen Bobby Simpson, Luke Prichard, Sherry Tubbs, Debbie Fisher, and David Cripps.
The vacancy has yet to be filled.
