After seven years of service, city attorney and prosecutor William Camm Seay has resigned his position effective Thursday, he told The Salem News Oct. 23.
Seay, who had a hip replaced in March, said he is no longer able, because of his temporary disability, to climb the steps at the Dent County courthouse to conduct court there.
“I can’t keep asking Judge (Nathan) Kelsaw to have court in the judicial building,” he said.
He was also critical of the lack of handicapped accessibility to the second-floor courtroom at the courthouse.
“Our county has failed miserably to accommodate disabled people,” he said, pointing to the number of defendants with handicapped family members. “A lot of people can’t make it up the steps, and I was one of them.”
Seay is currently waiting to have his other hip replaced and is also dealing with other medical issues that limit his mobility. It may be three or four months before he is able to climb stairs, he said.
“I can operate in any other courthouse in this circuit as a disabled person because they all have elevators,” he said.
The city began seeking proposals from city attorney candidates in July. Several applied, Seay included. The board of aldermen met in closed session Oct. 22 to discuss personnel.
