Berlin At-Large Councilmember Thom Gulyas, 55, announced during the mayor and Town Council meeting on Tuesday night that he is resigning from his position after six years.
Gulyas, who was first elected to the council in 2014, said he will leave the council because he and his wife, Belinda, who is a principal for Cedar Chapel Special School, will be moving to South Point.
“I have purchased a home outside of the town of Berlin,” Gulyas said. “As our code dictates, we must reside within town corporate limits in order to hold an elected position. That being said, we expect hopefully to be into our new home by the end of 2020, at the latest beginning of 2021.”
Gulyas would not have been up for reelection until 2022, and even though he could have put off his resignation until he moves out of town — and after October’s town election — that would have entailed a special election to fill his seat.
“That would force the town to spend an extra $7,500-$10,000 just so that I could stay another extra three or four months,” he said. “And that’s not right. That’s just not the right thing to do.”

At least one elected official has good morals and a conscious! Kudos to you Sir!
"Gulyas retires from Berlin council after six years"
Retires after 6 years? How do you "retire" from something that isn't even a job. It doesn't even constitute part time labor.
The title should have said quits.
7:37 PM don't you worry, they will send him off with a good farewell when they raise more taxes on you like Is aid they would keep doing, and they have so far so I think you should start lsitenign to me on this...
The bloated jerk went out with a BANG too. He attacked a resident who was expressing concern over a bad appointment.
Gulyas said. “I’ve put up with you people for six damn years. I’m sick and tired of it. Everything online, that’s where you’re going to pull this from. Whoa whoa whoa this is my meeting not yours. Not yours. Not yours … You know Kim every damn time you’ve come to these meetings all you’ve wanted to do is bitch and complain.
