WZQZ News reported on Tuesday that Summerville City Manager Andrea Surratt had announced her resignation at Monday night’s meeting of the Summerville City Council.  Surratt, who has served in the position for less than eighteen months, cited a family emergency as the reason for her resignation.

WZQZ News obtained a copy of the resignation letter that was submitted by Surratt and addressed to Summerville Mayor Harry Harvey and the Summerville City Council.  In the letter, Surratt said that an “ongoing family emergency” prompted her to leave her job.  Surratt told the mayor and council members that she could “no longer fulfill the duties” of her contract because of the situation.

Surratt’s letter said that she would be leaving in 90 days from the date of her letter – which was delivered to Mayor Harvey last week on May 8th.
