A veteran member of the city’s Board of Finance resigned Tuesday.
Dolores Capers said she was stepping down because she plans to move soon to South Carolina, where she grew up.
Capers said she’s retiring on Sept. 1 and intends to move out of town after that.
Capers has been a volunteer on various municipal boards for two decades.
There are nine members on the finance board, including the mayor. It controls city spending and borrowing.

Delores served the Board of Finance and this city with distinction and pride. Enjoy your well deserved retirement Delores.
This is a prime opportunity for Mayor Stortz to select a fiscally conservative individual to fill this position. The Board of Finance is the last line of defense against overspending, pet project endorsing, non-essential spending city council members. Left to the whims of the council members, no project would be rejected and the taxpayers would be left holding the bill.
Mayor, choose carefully, my tax dollars are at risk!!!!!
No lame duck appointments. If Mr. Stortz was running again it might be different, but he is not. The budget has already been approved. Leave this appointment alone until the new Mayor takes over whether it's Mrs. Zoppo, Mr. Ward or Mr. Johnson.
I am sure Stortz has something worked out with Zoppo on this one. Afterall, she is trying to get "her" people appointed. Then this way, whe can get all her projects approved and our tax dollars will sky rocket!
Zoppo needs to go!
