After six years on the Bonners Ferry City
Council, and three years after retiring from the
Boundary County Assessor’s Office, city
councilman Tom Mayo has tendered his
resignation, effective June 30, saying he’s
finally ready to slow down and enjoy being
retired.
“My wife will be retiring soon and we’re both
looking forward to enjoying it together, do a
little traveling,” he
said. “I’m getting older, and I don’t know that
I still have the energy to give it what it
deserves.”
His wife of nearly 40 years, Shirley, is materials manager at Boundary Community
Hospital.
“It has been my honor to serve the city and I
feel privileged by my associations with city
employees and staff,” he wrote Mayor Dave
Anderson April 15. “My time there will always be
cherished.”
First elected to city council in 2009, Mayo said
it’s been an honor to serve and that he’s
developed an affection for all with whom he
worked and a deeper appreciation for the City of
Bonners Ferry.
“I feel like we have exceptional employees and a
great staff,” he said.
Mayor Anderson now has the option of nominating
an appointee, subject to approval of the city
council, to fill Mayo’s seat and run for
election this fall, or leave the seat vacant
until voters decide and the person elected takes
office in January.
Either way, Tom said, he hopes to see someone
young, eager and energetic step up to help guide
the city.
