SYMMES TOWNSHIP — C. W. (Bill) Bercaw, administrator here for the past nine years, has resigned the $75,000 a year job.
“It was a mutual parting of the ways,” said Eric Minamyer, president of the three-member board of trustees. “He resigned. We accepted it. There was no controversy or split in the board.”
Mr. Minamyer said he was not aware of any disagreement or argument that caused the resignation.
Mr. Bercaw, 69, could not be reached for comment.
Mr. Minamyer, who is acting administrator until a new person is hired, said the resignation comes at a time when “there is a lot of scrutiny of the operations and efficiency of the township.”
Consultants have been hired by the trustees to review the organizational structure of the township and to rewrite job descriptions of township employees.
“The trustees want to modernize and improve the efficiency of the township and we are in the process of doing that (and) ... he resigned,” Mr. Minamyer said.
Mr. Bercaw's contract stipulates that he be paid a half year's salary and receive six months of health insurance, Mr. Minamyer said.
Trustee Mike Gentry said the board agreed that only Mr. Minamyer would comment on the resignation.
Mr. Minamyer said a search has begun to find a new administrator. He said trustees prefer candidates with master's degrees in business administration with experience in government and public administration.
