Punta Gorda’s new City Council accepted City Manager Greg Murray’s resignation Nov. 20 and agreed to pay toward hurricane repairs and provide several months of rent abatement to business owners who lease space at city-owned Herald Court.

Debi Lux was named mayor and Greg Julian vice mayor by the new-look Council, which saw three incumbents unseated on Election Day. Julian, Jeannine Polk and Janis Denton join Lux, who was elected last year, and Melissa Lockhart, who has served on Council since 2021.

A clue that Murray was departing came early as Assistant City Manager Melissa Reichert sat in his seat. She was named interim city manager after Murray’s resignation was accepted.
