Lobdell resigns at Farmington

The Farmington City Council accepted the resignation of Councilman Todd Lobdell Monday night. He served six years, winning re-election twice after originally being appointed by former Mayor Royce Johnson.

“I don’t want to miss out on the little time left until my kids decide dad’s not as cool as he used to be,” Lobdell said Monday night.

“It might be too late already,” replied Johnson, who was in the audience.

Lodbell and wife Shelly have two children, ages 5 and 9. They moved to Farmington eight years ago from Spokane.

Lodbell, a Spokane firefighter, will continue his part-time work for Farmington’s water department.

“Six years is my own term limit,” Lobdell said.
