Just months after being sworn-in, Baldwin Council member Joseph Satterfield will be resigning his position on the Baldwin City Council effective at the end of July.
Satterfield announced his resignation at the end of the Council meeting’s work session. The reason for his resignation was due to his recent marriage. His wife lives in Asheville, NC and he will be moving up to that area to start their future together.
His last day on the City Council will be at the July 29 council meeting.
Satterfield outlines his reason for selecting that date. “This gives ample time so the next council person can be included on the November 5 Presidential ballot in order to not cost the city nothing at all,” he said.
He expressed his appreciation while on the Council, “I would like to thank the Mayor, Council, staff, and most importantly the citizens of Baldwin.”
Satterfield was the lone qualifier for the Council Post 2 seat last September. He was sworn-in on January 9, 2024. He filled the seat held by long time Council member Theron Ayers who did not seek reelection. There will be a balance of three years and two months remaining in the term after the November election.
