Village of Roaming Shores Residents,
It has been my pleasure and great honor to serve the Village of Roaming Shores for the past two years.
I have stepped down from my position as Village Administrator to attend the police academy, with the goal of returning to Roaming Shores as a full-time police officer in 2027.
I want to take a moment to sincerely thank all of you for the support, encouragement, and opportunity to serve this community. During my time as administrator, I had the privilege of working to make the Village better in whatever ways I could. Through your support, love, and even the occasional strong coaching, you have helped me become a better leader and a better person.
The Village is currently working diligently to find the right person to fill the administrator position. They are committed to finding the best fit rather than simply rushing to fill an open seat. Beginning this afternoon, Mayor Helms will oversee the Village's daily operations during this transition.
Kerri Philips and I originally created this page with the goal of providing residents with accurate information and facts about the Village. Following my departure, I am not sure whether the page will continue to be utilized, but I wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has followed and supported it.
Thank you again for allowing me to serve this community. I will always hope for the very best for Roaming Shores, and I will forever appreciate everything this Village has given me over the past 24 months.
Respectfully, always,
Mark R. Reed II
