The Rainsville City Council accepted Allen Stiefel s resignation Monday night, effective immediately.
Stiefel, the former supervisor at the Rainsville Wastewater Treatment Plant was suspended without pay, pending an investigation. He was arrested in December after an illegal winery was discovered at the plant.
The council also discussed Jimmy Brooksâ move from Wastewater Treatment Plant Maintenance to interim Public Works Director.
The motion caused the council and mayor to be at odds over the temporary candidate for the position.
Rainsville Mayor Rodger Lingerfelt explained the move was temporary until the position was posted and they âsettled on a person.â
Councilman Bejan Taheri, who expressed his opposition, asked if Brooks would be receiving a pay raise, to which Lingerfelt said yes.
