Schulick resigns from MetroParks board

CANFIELD — Scott Schulick is resigning his seat on the Mill Creek MetroParks board of commissioners.

"Serving as a park commissioner has been an extremely frustrating position to hold," Schulick wrote in a resignation letter today to Judge Robert Rusu Jr. of Mahoning County Probate Court, the appointing authority for the five-member board.

"The park's challenges are more than overwhelming. Given numerous governance impediments and an impatient constituency, it seems best for me to focus my time and effort on my business responsibilities and other community commitments."

Schulick offered to stay in his board position until a successor was named.

"I wish nothing but the best for Mill Creek MetroParks and thank my fellow commissioners, the executive director and all of the park's employees, volunteers and supporters," Schulick wrote.

Rusu swore in Schulick on Jan. 12, 2015. Schulick replaced Jay Macejko after the judge opted not to re-appoint Macejko when his term expired in December 2014.

Schulick's term was to run through the end of 2017.
