While the village of Cadiz\u2019s first executive session was being held during the March 26 meeting, a rumor spread that Village Administrator Brandon Ludwig was resigning. Ludwig was approached because he was not in that session, but he did not give a reason, saying only, \u201cWhen it\u2019s time, it\u2019s time.\u201d<\/p>\n Council returned from that first session and continued the meeting until a second executive session later in the evening. After that session, council announced Ludwig\u2019s official resignation.<\/p>\n \u201cAs all of village council has received, the village administrator has submitted his letter of resignation, so I\u2019m going to make a motion, sadly, to accept said letter of recommendation,\u201d Deluca said.<\/p>\n Ludwig\u2019s resignation was to take effect April 4. Deluca thanked Ludwig for his service and, while saying he wanted to maintain proper status in the village, asked Ludwig on behalf of council to stay on as interim administrator for up to 20 hours per week.<\/p>\n Deluca said the arrangement would continue until Ludwig found other employment or until the village hired and fully trained a new administrator. He said Ludwig\u2019s interim rate would be $50 per hour and that, as a contract employee, he would receive no benefits. Ludwig accepted and said the village was very dear to him.<\/p>\n \u201cThis village is very dear to me, so I would do anything to make the process and the transition as smooth as possible,\u201d Ludwig told council.<\/p>\n The following Monday, Ludwig provided a statement by text saying that, \u201cAfter thoughtful consideration,\u201d he felt it was the appropriate time \u201cfor a transition in leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt has been an honor to serve in this capacity and to contribute to the day-to-day operations and long-term initiatives of the village,\u201d Ludwig said. \u201cI am thankful for the collaboration with village leadership, staff, and members of the community during my time in this role.\u201d<\/p>\n Ludwig said he is now focused on a smooth transition in the weeks ahead.<\/p>\n \u201cI wish the village continued success and appreciate the opportunity to have been of service,\u201d Ludwig said in closing.<\/p>\n Days later, Deluca explained what he meant by maintaining proper status in the village. He said Ludwig has been the \u201ccornerstone\u201d in ongoing water and sewer projects involving the EPA, the village\u2019s engineering firm, and the water and sewer departments. The village remains under EPA restrictions resulting from problems dating back many years.<\/p>\n \u201cHe has been managing a number of the phased projects since he started, so keeping him on as a contracted interim administrator while we search for, and then hire, a new administrator \u2026 is critical to keep the village progressing toward a completely renovated \u2026 water and sewer infrastructure in the village,\u201d Deluca said in a text.<\/p>\n Deluca\u2019s motion to extend an interim contract to Ludwig effective April 5 was approved unanimously.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yourohionews.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Brandon Ludwig will stay as interim to aid transition in Cadiz’s water and sewer projects No specific reason was given for the well-liked Village Administrator Brandon Ludwig, except to say it was time.JD Long While the village of Cadiz\u2019s first executive session was being held during the March 26 meeting, a rumor spread that Village […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2374762,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[25179],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2374761","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Cadiz-council-accepts-Brandon-Ludwigs-resignation-approves-interim-role.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2374761","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2374761"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2374761\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2374763,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2374761\/revisions\/2374763"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2374762"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2374761"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2374761"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2374761"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
