Kosciusko County Councilman Jim Moyer is resigning his seat this month and taking a new job as assistant county surveyor.
Moyer ran for surveyor in an Aug. 19 caucus to replace departing surveyor Richard Kemper, but lost to Michael Kissinger, who served as assistant surveyor under Kemper.
Moyer served on the council for five years and was a Harrison Township trustee for 15 years before that. His resignation from council, representing District 2, is effective Sept. 28.
A Republican caucus is set for Oct. 21 at 7 p.m. in the county courthouse to fill the remainder of his term.
“I’ve enjoyed my time with council, it’s been an honor and privilege, and I’ve enjoyed my service to the county and taxpayers,” Moyer said this morning. He added that he is not planning on seeking any other office.
