Enfield Town Manager Resigns; Moving Back to Ohio

ENFIELD, CT — Town Manager Bryan Chodkowski will be leaving Enfield this spring to take a job as a city manager in Ohio, he stated in an email sent to all town employees Wednesday night.

The Mayor and City Council of Moraine, Ohio voted Wednesday to appoint Chodkowski as City Manager. He will officially begin working in Moraine in June, according to a post on the Moraine city web site.

Moraine is a city in Montgomery County with a population of 6,307 at the 2010 census.

Chodkowski began working as Enfield town manager in May 2016, after abruptly leaving a similar post in Riverside, Ohio in mid-January of that year, the Dayton Daily News reported at the time.

In his email to employees, Chodkowski wrote, "When I accepted this position nearly two years ago, I had established some personal and professional plans. First, it was my intention to beat the longevity service records set by my two most recent predecessors. Second, I was hell-bent and determined to be part of a one-of-kind Transit Oriented Development. Finally, I was looking forward to positively changing the narrative about Enfield.

Needless to say, I think we all know about what happens with the best laid plans…"

In both his email and his official resignation letter, obtained from the Enfield Human Resources Department, Chodkowski cited family reasons as his basis for returning to his native region.

His current salary is $150,000, according to the Human Resources Department.
