Sturgeon Bay Common Council member David Hayes will be resigning from his council seat and will be active in making the transition easier for his successor.  Hayes represents the 2nd council district and was re-elected to office in April.  He recently decided to step aside and will be meeting with Sturgeon Bay Mayor David Ward to discuss a succession plan.  Hayes has some thoughts of the qualities he'd like to see in his successor.

Upon leaving the Sturgeon Bay Common Council Hayes will continue in his role as chair of the Democratic Party of Door County.
