MITCHELLVILLE, Iowa [KCCI] — The City Council meetings in Mitchellville have been indefinitely postponed, after the city failed to achieve a quorum due to recent resignations. Council member Piper LaGrange Brodsack announced her resignation Monday evening, stating in a social media post, that she “Can no longer in good faith continue to represent the city.” Brodsack attributed her decision to the “current political climate” in Mitchellville.

Her post said, she had done her best over the past year to mitigate numerous challenges faced by the City, but in the current political climate of her town, She “and others have faced harassment and threats for doing so.” Piper Brodsack said “I can no longer in good faith continue to represent the city, as I refuse to condone continued hostility toward our residents, staff, and elected officials. I appreciate your understanding of my choice to prioritize the wellbeing of myself and my family at this time. I would encourage our community, especially our community leaders, to reflect on interacting with one another with civility and leading with a servant heart.”

Last week, Mitchellville Councilman Scott Wheeler announced his resignation. In his social media post, he cited “drama during the election and actions taken by the incoming administration” as reasons for his departure.
