Bluffton Town Council accepted interim town manager Scott Marshall’s resignation at its Tuesday meeting.
Mayor Lisa Sulka said council had received a resignation letter from Marshall, who was hired as deputy town manager in 2015, after it returned from a closed executive session to discuss personnel. Marshall s last day with the town will be June 4.
“You’ve really kept our ship going,” Sulka told Marshall.
Marshall was appointed interim town manager in January after Marc Orlando was hired as the new town manager on Hilton Head Island.
The town said April 26 that council was offering the Bluffton town manager job to Easley city administrator Stephen Steese. Sulka said Steese has accepted the job and council is waiting on a final contract to review at a workshop this month.
