Re: Resignation
ATTACHMENT 1
Dear Pat,
It is with much sadness that I am tendering my resignation as Commissioner of
the Moorpark Parks and Recreation Commission. My husband received a job
offer in Chicago, and we will be moving there in July of this year. My
resignation will be effective July 1, 2008. I apologize for the short notice, but
we have only recently found out ourselves. I emailed Patty and Mary as soon
as I heard.
It has been my honor and privilege to have served as a Commissioner for the
City of Moorpark, and I sincerely appreciate the confidence you have had in me
and the opportunity to serve the city in this capacity.
Sincerely,
Julie Weisberger
