Hamilton County Commissioner Curtis Adams still is city manager of East Ridge, because his Saturday resignation has not taken effect, Mayor Mike Steele said today.

Mr. Adams sent a letter to the members of the City Commission detailing his plan to stay on until a new manager is hired, Mr. Steele said.

Mr. Steele said Mr. Adams had not sent a formal letter of his resignation, nor had he set a resignation date. Mr. Adams only had made a verbal statement Saturday that he was resigning, Mr. Steele said.

Mr. Adams resigned in the midst of criticism surrounding a proposed 47-cent tax increase.
