Hall, the daughter of former local Congressman and U.S. Ambassador Tony Hall, submitted her resignation because she is relocating out of state with her family, according to the resolution.
“Serving the people of Kettering has been an incredible honor. I am proud of the work we have accomplished together as a council, making significant strides to strengthen our community and improve quality of life for our residents,” Hall wrote in her resignation letter. “Kettering will always hold a special place in my heart, and I look forward to watching the city continue to thrive in the years ahead.”
In her letter, Hall said her husband got a new job in Kentucky.
Born in Kettering, Hall has been a council member since 2022. Her seat will remain vacant through her term, which ends Dec. 31.
Hall most recently ran in the March 19, 2024, Democratic primary for the Ohio State Senate seat representing District 6. She came in third, with the top vote-getter, Willis Blackshear Jr., winning the Nov. 5, 2024, election.
Mayor Peggy Lehner presented a proclamation to Hall during the Aug. 12 meeting, declaring it Jyl Hall Day in Kettering.
“And on behalf of city council, city administration and the residents of Kettering would like to commend Jyl for her exemplary service and offer our best wishes for a rewarding future filled with good health and happiness,” Lehner said when presenting the proclamation.
