Johnnie Rodgers gave a letter of resignation to Florence County Council Thursday morning.
Rodgers has represented District 5 on council since 2001. His resignation is effective June 29.
Chairman Rusty Smith read the letter citing health problems as the reason Rodgers is resigning.
Smith says Rodgers has done a great job serving the Scranton, Coward and Effingham communities.
Rodgers was at Thursday's council meeting. A number of people thanked him for his hard work.
We're waiting to find out about a possible special election to fill his seat.
