The city manager for St. Cloud has resigned. 

The city council voted unanimously to accept city manager Joe Helfenberger's volunteer resignation during a meeting Thursday evening.

Fire chief and assistant city manager Bill Sturgeon will serve as acting city manager.

Last month Councilman Donald Shroyer moved to terminate Helfenberger's position for spending more than $100,000 without the council's consent.

The motion then did not pass.
