Public works director resigns

Citing personal reasons, Odessa Public Works Director Roger Sebesta has resigned from his position, effective July 6. When asked about his future plans, Sebesta said that he does not yet know what he will do in terms of work or retirement. He said he has enough accrued sick leave and vacation time that he will not have to make that decision immediately.

Assistant director Jerry Monroe has moved up into the director’s position, and the town is advertising for a third employee to join Monroe and Rod Webster on the town crew.
