East Ridge City Manager Chris Dorsey resigned Thursday, according to a news release.
The City Council agreed on a severance package of six-and-a-half months’ base salary, the release said.
Dorsey took the city manager job in 2019. He was the seventh person to hold the position since 2008.
He previously served as city manager of Red Bank for six years and town manager of Signal Mountain for eight months before accepting the job in East Ridge.
He was terminated by a 3-2 vote of the five-person Red Bank City Commission in October 2011 for undisclosed reasons.
