Former Fargo Park District Director Joel Vettel has issued the following statement, obtained by WZFG News from Valley News Live’s Melanie Palmer:
"I would like to thank the citizens of Fargo for the opportunity to serve as the executive director of the Fargo Park District for the last three years. I stepped into this job with a vision and dream of improving upon our wonderful park district. This was a huge undertaking and I recognize I had huge shoes to fill. I did this job to the best of my ability, but I feel I can no longer continue in the role as executive director. Therefore, I have submitted my resignation to the Park District Commissioners. My family and I have always been huge supporters of the Fargo Park District and will continue to do so. This is a fantastic organization and a wonderful community. There are good people here and I wish them well. I look forward to spending more time with my family and friends, and finding my next professional opportunities."
