Great Bend City Administrator Kendal Francis officially announced his resignation before the City Council Monday night. Reading from a prepared statement, an emotional Francis praised the city staff and governing body and urged them to rely on this expertise as the search for his replacement gets underway. “It’s not been easy on anybody” Mayor Cody Schmidt said.  “We have quite a process in front of us,” Schmidt said. “But I have big hopes big dreams and a lot of faith in this group up here with me. We will do everything in our power to make sure the city continues to move in the right direction.”
