SANDPOINT — Jennifer Stapleton resigned Friday as city administrator, saying she did not wish to be a distraction as Sandpoint moves forward to a new administration.

"My decision to resign has been made with deep sadness; however, our incoming mayor ran on a clear platform to serve without a city administrator and remove me from my position," Stapleton wrote in her resignation letter. "That would take a majority vote of the council. Rather than allow this to be a distraction to the business and success of the city, I have chosen to resign and wish him success in his term."

Stapleton, who has was hired as Sandpoint's first city administrator in 2016, said the decision was made with a lot of thought and with the city's best interest in mind.
