Finally, Stock Resignation Dated
July 8, 2011 to be the final date. After two years of considering, he’s gone? That’s it? Stock arrived in Lamar amid a Florida Hurricane and kept it rumbling and blowing for most of his time in the community. While his presence there offered a few good things – most everyone liked him on arrival. He seemed personable, soft spoken and adaptable. Or not…
Response to Lamar City Administrator’s Letter
The citizens of Lamar have been considering City Administrator, Ron Stock’s precarious health situation, and we are concerned about the amount of stress Mr. Stock is enduring on behalf of the position he holds. In light of his Doctor’s recommendation to either reduce the stress or quit his job, we’ve come to an enlightened solution.

Revelation – Stock’s Letter of Resignation
(Contents of the Letter) August 6, 2007 Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Lamar 102 East Parmenter Lamar, CO 81052 Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I have been doctoring most of this spring and summer in an effort to deal with hypertension caused by the stress of my job. As you know Acute Hypertension can cause permanent organ damage and I have experienced blood pressure readings high enough to indicate Acute Hypertension. My doctor has informed me that I must either reduce the stress I am experiencing, or I must quit my job. I will continue with my efforts to remove stress and stress related activities. I may even request from you a medical leave of absence to address this issue. However, I want you to be aware that I am seriously considering retiring on my next birthday, July 2010, for these medical reasons. For those of you who may be considering running for re-election or for election, I want you to be aware that it is likely that you will have to consider a search for my replacement beginning in the Spring. This will put a considerable strain on your time and reduce our effectiveness in 2010. read more…
