In an announcement on the Village of Ostrander website and included in a series of tweets on Tuesday, Mayor Bob Taylor announced his resignation from that position effective “…later this month.”
Taylor’s announcement read as follows:

“I am proud to say that I have served the Village of Ostrander in one capacity or another for the past 12 years. I am proud of the achievements and growth of the village during that time. I am also proud to have served with so many dedicated people.

Today I am announcing my resignation as Mayor effective later this month. This is not the way I had envisioned ending my tenure but due to personal reasons, I must. I have discussed this decision with President Greasamar, who will assume the role of Mayor, and I am completely confident that the village will be in good hands with his leadership. There will be an election next year to formally fill my seat and I fully endorse Chris Greasamar for that role. Although I am resigning at the end of the month, Chris will take over many duties immediately.

I appreciate the support and the trust you have all placed on me being in a leadership role of our town over the past 12 years but it is time I bid you all farewell. I will still be involved in the community but now as an active resident. A village like ours needs a lot of people to be involved to make it the best it can be, so I urge everyone to please get involved and do what you can for our community.

I thank you all for allowing me to serve.

Bob Taylor”

As profiled in this March 2019 article in the Delaware Gazette when he was sworn in as mayor, Taylor and his family moved to Ostrander in 2007 and took the position at the resignation of the former mayor.
