Another senior staff member of the Town of Battleford is planning to retire.
Works and Utilities Superintendent Kevin Chaykowski’s letter of resignation was received by Battleford town council Monday evening at their regular meeting.
In his letter of resignation, Chaykowski thanked the mayor, council and the town administrator, Sheryl Ballendine, for the past 29 years.
“I have gained a great abundance of knowledge and experience and would also like to thank you for your co-operation and support during my employment with the Town of Battleford.”
Chaykowski’s last day of work will be June 30.
He says he may be retiring from the Town, but he will probably pursue some other options. Nothing’s settled yet, but he says he is planning to stay in the community.
Mayor Derek Mahon thanked Chaykowski for his years of work with the Town and wished him luck in the next phase of his life.
Councillor Shelley Boutin-Gervais thanked him as well, adding, “It’s just unfortunate everybody’s leaving at the same time.”
Less than a month ago, Parks and Recreation Superintendent Randy Redding announced he was retiring at the end of April, and the Town has also been looking for a new administrator, as Ballendine is planning a retirement as well.
“It’s one of those things where everybody’s ready to retire,” said the mayor. “It’s just that age thing.”
