Two additional city officials resign

CHANDLER — As more controversy surrounds the City of Chandler, two city officials have submitted their letters of resignation, causing further turmoil for the city. The resignations were submitted by Utilities Director Justin Bolton and City Engineer Brian Capps, according to our news partner KETK. In a letter, it was announced that Capp’s tenure with the city will conclude on Wednesday, while it is uncertain when Bolton’s last day will be.

Capps and Bolton’s decision to resign comes less than two weeks after city administrator Kalon Rollins issued his resignation, claiming it was in his best interest to remove himself from a “toxic atmosphere” in the city’s government.

Rollins’ resignation comes after a Thursday city council meeting where Chandler city council members considered taking action against Rollins and the current Chandler Police Chief Johnny Foster for improper spending, bond issues, social media policy and hiring policies.

It has yet to be announced when Bolton’s or Capps’ position will be filled, and whether or not interims will be announced while the jobs remain vacant.
