Eureka Springs City Advertising and Promotion Commission Executive Director Mike Maloney presented commissioners with his letter of resignation at the Jan. 23 meeting, saying “I have had a good eight years in Eureka Springs and I hope my work has benefited the community. I would like to end my employment the end of April.”
Silence followed for a few seconds until newly elected Chair Carol Wright commented that tax dollars have steadily increased since Maloney’s employment and thanked him for his service. Commissioners gave Maloney a round of applause, and commissioner Susan Harman said, “I’m really gonna miss Mike. I appreciate all that he’s done.”
When asked what his plans were for the future Maloney firmly stated, “I can’t comment. I’m sorry.”
