Bull Shoals Mayor David Hotchkiss and Officer James Rhodes of the Bull Shoals Police Department officially resigned Monday, according to a letter posted on the City of Bull Shoals’ website. City ordinances say the Recorder/Treasurer will take the Mayor’s position, pro-tem, until the regular session of the city council meeting Thursday, June 29th. The Council will be expected to appoint a new Mayor at that time.

In the resignation letter Hotchkiss says the decision was hard to make. Hotchkiss cited accomplishments made by the city over the past two-and-a-half years including the opening of the Dam Site Park, a new directory sign along with the “straightening out” of the Police Department. He said the most important tasks accomplished were being able to obtain enough grant money and to pass the sales tax for the new sewer plant.

A call to Hotchkiss Tuesday was not immediately returned.
