Newport City Manager Jane Howington is reportedly resigning, several city officials confirmed Thursday night.
Howington did not give a reason for her resignation.
Several messages sent Thursday evening were not returned.
It is not clear when she will work her last day.
Howington was hired to lead Newport as City Manager about two years ago.
During that time, it's no secret she has regularly experienced friction with members of the City Council.
In recent months, Howington has been interviewing for manager jobs in Ohio and was a runner-up for a job in Middletown, Ohio last month.
She was out town for a few days earlier this month, though it's not clear if she was interviewing for another job.
