County Board member Brooks Marsh has resigned effective immediately according to the County Clerk this morning. He is a Republican who was representing District 1 who has stated that he will be moving. The Clerk had previously announced he had withdrawn as a candidate for re-election to the seat. The News-Gazette had a bit more on it today:

Marsh was chosen by precinct committeemen in April 2017 to serve out the term of John Jay, who retired from the board that February. District 1 includes much of the northwestern quadrant of the county, encompassing Mahomet, Fisher, Seymour, Dewey and Foosland.
Champaign County Republican Party Chairman Mark Ballard said officials will soon choose a replacement for Marsh. Ballard said the hope is that person would finish his term on the board and be a candidate in November. There are currently no other hopefuls vying for the seat.
Marsh’s move will bring the number of county board vacancies to three, after Democrats Robert King and Shana Jo Crews resigned last month.
