Tweddle’s husband submitted a letter of resignation. The board will officially accept the resignation at today’s meeting (April 15), said Charles Gibson, board member.

“She’s in a nursing home right now,” Gibson said Wednesday. “It’s a very difficult situation for us. She’s been an excellent board member.”

Tweddle has been a board commissioner since 1988.
