According to multiple sources, Biddeford City Clerk Robin Patterson will be resigning her position, effective April 10 this year.
City Manager Truc Dever sent an email message to all city staff and elected officials, notifying them of Patterson’s decision.
There was no information available at press time about why Patterson decided to resign.
This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
Patterson was hired as Biddeford’s City Clerk, in May 2023. She was nominated for the position by former mayor Alan Casavant at the recommendation of former city manager James Bennett — who was abruptly removed from his position last year, Feb. 10.
Prior to working in Biddeford, Patterson was the town clerk and registrar of voters for the town of Benton, Maine, a small central Maine community where she also served as deputy clerk for one year.
CORRECTION | An earlier version of this story misidentified the name of City Clerk Robin Patterson. It was a typographical error, and we apologize for the mistake.
