Mayor Lee announces 
intention to resign 


At the Friday, February 7, 2014 regular meeting 
of Council, Mayor Linda Lee informed Council of 
her intention to resign as Chief Elected Officer 
(Mayor). 

Mayor Lee stated, that, “It is with mixed 
emotions that I am notifying all ratepayers, at the 
Summer Village of Rochon Sands, of my intention 
to resign, as Mayor, on May 1, 2014. In the last 
month, I have had the opportunity to purchase an 
amazing property SW of Okotoks, so am in the 
process of selling both my house in Calgary, and 
my cottage at the lake. I am so appreciative of my 
almost 19 years as a property owner at Rochon 
Sands, and also of my years on Council. I will truly 
miss the community, that has been my second 
home for many years, and the many people, that I 
feel are more family than friends.” 
With sincere thanks to all, 
Linda Lee 

Council now awaits the official letter of 
resignation from Mayor Lee. According to the 
Municipal Government the resignation of a 
Councillor of Chief Elected Officer (Mayor) will 
be effective immediately following the acceptance 
of a letter of resignation. Council next duties will 
be to appoint a Retuning Officer, set a nomination 
day and an election day for the bi-election.
