The mayor on Friday said he submitted paperwork to leave office April 30. "I look forward to a healty and restful retirement and all it has to offer," he said in a resignation letter. Members of the city's Democratic committee would choose a successor to complete Moran's term. While Wilson and Fuentes cited the mayor's health in announcing his departure, Moran said that was not a deciding factor. Wilson and Fuentes praised Moran, a lifelong city resident who began his mayoral term on New Year's Day in 2018. He served on City Council from 1997 to 2017, spending the last eight years as council president.
