Another Adair County official has resigned, citing turmoil and a toxic environment.
Adair Fiscal Court Clerk Beth Cole submitted her resignation on Friday, which was effective immediately. In her resignation letter, Cole said the position came to be too much, citing “months of turmoil” and “dealing with a toxic environment.”
Cole was appointed to the position near the beginning of the year.
In her letter, Cole said the decision was not one she came to easily, but said she feels like it is the best decision at this time.
There has not yet been any word on who will be the next clerk. The fiscal court clerk is tasked with compiling minutes from meetings, preparing documents and packets for fiscal court members, and several other duties.
