OLD ORCHARD BEACH — Jack Turcotte is stepping down after nearly two years serving as town manager.
Turcotte, 64, announced his resignation June 21 and said he will work through the end of July. He said a recent “medical scare” and the need for a knee replacement has prompted him to leave the “fast paced” position.
“I’m not leaving for any particular reason,” Turcotte said. “I really like this job.”
Turcotte stepped into the town manager position in August 2009 after serving as superintendent for Old Orchard Beach schools, prior to the district consolidating with Saco and Dayton. Most of his career was spent as an educator.
The town council is expected to discuss plans for filling the position during an executive session Tuesday.
