City Grants Coordinator Brett Brinegar announced Friday she will resign from her post effective Oct. 15.

Brinegar e-mailed and submitted a hard copy of her resignation letter to Mayor Jake Middleton, City Clerk Donnie Holloway and City Attorney Everett Sanders.

Brinegar confirmed last week she had been laid off as a result of budget cuts, but after protests from supporters, Brinegar said she was told she had been placed under performance evaluation.

Brinegar has accepted a job at Copiah-Lincoln Community College as director of student affairs.
