Granite Shoals Place 3 Councilor Jim Davant resigned at 5 p.m. Feb. 12 effective immediately. Davant had already announced he would not seek re-election when his term was up in May 2021.
“It was time,” he said. “I had made the decision last year to not run, and I resigned as soon as I could. If I had resigned before the November election, it would have put the city in a bind. They can’t have three appointed council members according to the city charter.”
