Carol Morris, City of Port Orchard attorney, is resigning effective Jan. 1.
Mayor Tim Matthes said Morris will be leaving her post at the transition of new mayor-elect Rob Putaansuu and two new City Council members, who will be sworn in the first of next year.
Matthes, who hired Morris in April, said he was disappointed she’ll be leaving her post so soon. She was hired as interim city attorney in September 2014.
“I was hoping we’d have her for another two years at least so the city could take care of our codes updates.
“I like looking for a good deal, and I consider her to be the best I found,” he said.
“We were lucky to have her and her expertise.”
Morris, who was unavailable for comment at deadline, is principal of Morris Law P.C. in Gig Harbor.
