PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. — Madeira Beach Mayor Jim Rostek has stepped down from his position.

In a release on the city's website dated June 14, the city says Rostek tendered his resignation effective immediately.

Rostek had been mayor since 2023.

It's unclear why he resigned, though he mentioned what he called “corruptive behavior” of other city lawmakers.

Vice-Mayor Anne-Marie Brooks will now assume the role as mayor.

A special meeting has been scheduled for June 26 to review the process of replacing District 4 commissioner with the city attorney.
