Paul Ash, the former West Ranch Town Council President, has submitted his letter of resignation to the members of the council. Apparently, Paul has been thinking about resigning for the past two years.

In a note to Council members he said, “My various commitments, professional, family and charitable have been pulling me in too many directions the last two years. I will remain active in the community in both the political and charitable arenas, but I want to spend more time with my family and with my charities. I leave the council after ten years, knowing that it is in good hands. You are all very able and committed and will always have my respect for the hard work you put in.”

Ash had started with the town council, then known as the Stevenson Ranch Town Council, when Dr. Richard Rioux was President. Paul leaves after serving the community for more than 10 years. He had tirelessly volunteered numerous hours over the years on a variety of fronts for the betterment of the West Ranch Communities.

Many of those in the community expressed sadness in the news of Paul’s resignation. Those that volunteer certainly can appreciate his decision since many feel that serving the community has become a thankless job!

Paul has been asked to attend the Wednesday September 6th council meeting so that the West Ranch Town Council and the community can give him a proper public thank you.
