Joseph Allred quietly stepped down after nine turbulent years at the helm of the former polygamous town in Arizona once controlled by the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Allred refused to elaborate further about his resignation or his future plans, other than to say he was “going into some private industry stuff.”
Barlow said he didn’t know what prompted the resignation, and the mayor did not offer any additional explanation. In a brief phone interview with The Salt Lake Tribune, Allred chalked up his surprise resignation to politics. Others are not as reticent. Colorado City Councilman Thomas Holm believes Allred quit because he had moved to Cane Beds, an unincorporated area about six miles south of the city, and was no longer legally qualified to serve as mayor. Arizona law and the town’s code require elected officials to live in the cities they serve.
Holm also said the consensus among some on the council is that Allred’s primary loyalty was to Jeffs, not the city or residents.According to Holm, he and a few others learned several months ago that Allred was asked to leave a home he was occupying in Colorado City and had moved out of town. The home in question was owned by Allred’s estranged father-in-law, Jerold Williams.
