Marcus Stevenson, the current mayor of Midvale City, has announced his immediate resignation from office, primarily ascribed to significant alterations in his circumstances. According to a statement released by Stevenson and obtained by
ABC4
, this decision follows “much consideration” and stems from changes that have occurred in his private life. “Serving as Mayor has been the most rewarding and challenging experience of my life,” Stevenson stated. “I truly cannot thank our community enough for giving me the opportunity to serve in this capacity.”
In the interim, Mayor Pro Tempore Paul Glover, a long-serving member of the City Council since 2003, will take on the mayoral duties until a new mayor is elected. The City Council, as per
KUTV
, has been mandated to swiftly act, within 30 days to be precise, to appoint a successor. The public can expect to see applications and guidelines posted on the Midvale City website by November 20. Stevenson’s successor will then be appointed by a majority vote from the City Council.
Making a move to quickly address the vacancy left by Stevenson, the City Council expressed its disappointment over the circumstances leading to his resignation. The council released a statement, noted by
KSL
, citing their commitment “to moving forward with integrity and accountability.” They did not delve into the details of Stevenson’s departure but emphasized prioritizing a seamless transfer of leadership and continuing to maintain the high standards expected by the residents.
As per Utah law, the council is responsible for not only appointing someone to fill Stevenson’s unexpired term but always doing so in a manner reflective of public trust and the values inherent within their community. Details for interested applicants have been made available, with the council imploring candidates to submit their interests through the city’s official website. Applications should be made by November 20 for consideration, a piece of information reiterated by the council in their aim to maintain continuity and stability for the citizens of Midvale City.
