SUBJECT: My Resignation
With deep regret, I submit this memorandum containing my resignation as City Manager for the City
of Elgin. In accordance with the process outlined in my employment contract, my resignation is
effective at 5:00 P.M., Friday, November 15, 1996.
I think I have helped Elgin to get through a financial crisis and to prepare plans for an exciting future.
I will miss being a part of that journey. I respect and admire the wonderful team of people at City
Hall,
I have a huge personal crisis to tend to now. I must use all my time and energy to deal with problems
my family faces.
Messrs. Malm,Folarin and Jentsch have reviewed my employment agreement and personnel records.
I will use my accumulated sick leave and vacation leave through November 15. I will be available
at home to assist in any way I can.
Elgin is a wonderful, special place. It has been a privilege to serve as City Manager. God Bless.
Respectfully submitted
Richard B. Helwig
