Scott Collins’ seemingly perpetually tenuous relationship with the city of Milton appears to be on the rocks again.
On Wednesday Collins submitted an email and letter informing members of the city council and City Attorney Alex Andrade of his intent to resign his position as city manager effective Feb. 23, according to city resident Pam Mitchell, founder of Milton Concerned Citizens.
City Council member Jeff Snow reacted by submitting a resolution to appoint former City Manager Randy Jorgenson to lead day-to-day operations in Milton as a search is conducted to replace Collins. Collins was hired in October to take over for Jorgenson, who had retired in September.
“I’m working for solutions,” Snow said.
Snow declined further comment on the resignation other than to say “I think the city’s definitely going to be OK.” He did not address speculation that Collins might be retained by the city in some capacity.
“I’m trying to work through some things before the City Council meeting on Tuesday,” he said.
