Roland City Administrator Ronnie Webb said the council accepted the letter of resignation from town attorney Mike Daffin. Webb said that Daffin resigned because of other commitments and Daffin didn't have enough time to be the town's attorney. Daffin serves on various local boards, including the Sallisaw School board.
Webb said the town had two applicants, John Montgomery and Gerald Hunter, both of Sallisaw, for the attorney post. He said the council hired Hunter to replace Daffin.
The town attorney position is not unfamiliar to Hunter, who was previously the town's attorney before he stepped down in 2002 and Daffin took his place.
