Page 1 of 1 Perkins, Jessica From: Rob Arden [robarden@live.comj Sent: Thursday, January 06,2011 10:27 AM To: Perkins, Jessica Subject: RE: meeting...? Hey Jessica... I am going to have to resign.. I cant believe I am even writing these words.. CDC/EDC Board, Mayor, and City Staff; It is with a very heavy heart that I must resign from my position as the Community Development Corporation President and Economic Development Corporation Board Member. I have tried to make my new schedule work to attend meetings and function in my current capacity, however after many weeks, I have still been unsuccesful. Many of you know of the personal difficulties I have had these last few months, but serving our city has always been such a bright spot. However I know that it is unfair for my situation to negatively effect our efforts as a board. I will miss our time, energy, efforts, and teamwork to serve this city and make it a better place to live. Hopefully, in the not to distant future, I will be in a position to pick up where I left off with this board or another city board. Thank you for your friendships, love and support.
