CHARLESTOWN â Jeff Fields, President of the Charlestown Board of Town Commissioners, announced that he was tenuring his resignation from the Board on Thursday morning.
âI basically resigned for health and personal reasons,â Fields told the Cecil Whig late Thursday afternoon, declining to elaborate further on his reasons.
Fields, who started serving as Board President in March 2020, was more than halfway through his second two-year term when he resigned. The next election for Fieldsâ position would have been in March 2022, had he remained in office.
With a population of approximately 1,500 residents, Charlestown does not have a mayor. In general terms, Fields and others who have held the president-of-the-town-board position have functioned as de-facto mayors for the town.
