Nortonville, KY – Nortonville Mayor Jamie Noel submitted his resignation last night, a month after the city council called for him to step down. The council asked Noel and two city clerks to resign during a heated meeting last month. City Attorney John Whitfield says Noel cited recent health problems as his reason for leaving. He is serving his third term in office. The board unanimously accepted the mayor's resignation, effective April 19. Whitfield says officials will choose someone to finish out Noel's term, which ends in November.
