“I loved what I did and have nothing but good things to say about Yorktown,” Thiele said. “I appreciate the people making me feel welcome and the city has an excellent staff who knows what they are doing.”
Thiele would not say exactly why she resigned and has no immediate plans for another job.
“I feel like I accomplished what I was hired to do and that is straighten out the city’s financials. The city is now running smoothly in that area,” she said.
Yorktown Mayor Rene Hernandez said the city council would discuss advertising for Thiele’s replacement at Monday’s regular meeting. He also would not comment on why Thiele resigned.
Thiele, who is also the former city secretary in Kenedy, is involved in an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission lawsuit with that city.
Thiele began work in the Kenedy’s accounting department in 1996 and became city secretary in 1998. In 2003, she assumed the dual role of city administrator/city secretary. Her city administrator duties were taken away in July 2006, but she remained as city secretary. She resigned from Kenedy in August 2006 before accepting the job in Yorktown.
