Banks steps down as city attorney
The Apalachicola Times
A year and a half after she was chosen as Apalachicola’s city attorney, Kristy Branch Banks has stepped down, citing a growing case load in her Eastpoint private practice.
In announcing at the Feb. 2 meeting of the Apalachicola city commission her decision to resign, Banks, who a few months earlier had been approved by the commission for renewal of her contract, said she would stay long enough to assist in the transition.
“I would like to continue working with the commission until such time new legal counsel can be retained,” she said. “I love my hometown and I absolutely want to see things move forward in a smooth and productive manner.”
