Ermie made the announcement at the close of Tuesday's council meeting, saying that she will remain on council until the end of April. She cited health issues as the reason for her departure.
Ermie was elected to council in 2001, and has served as chair of the Personnel Committee.
After her announcement, Mayor Nelson Evans, who himself is term-limited and will be concluding his tenure as mayor at the end of the year, credited Ermie with prompting him to run for the office.
