Inspections director leaving city post

Cape Girardeau inspections director Tarryl Booker has accepted the position of building and neighborhood services manager for the city of Carbondale, Ill.

Booker is the second city department head to have turned in a resignation in the last week. The city announced Terri Clark-Bauer's resignation as the Convention and Visitors Bureau director on Monday.

Booker served as the inspections director since May 1999. Previously, he was the senior code official for Sikeston, Mo.

"I have enjoyed my three years here in Cape Girardeau," Booker said. He plans to take that management style to his new position.

Booker's resignation is effective May 27.
