DALLAS, Ore. —  Dallas police officers said the city manager has resigned after allegations "of inappropriate handling of city financial matters."

Jerry Wyatt resigned as city manager on Monday. An Associated Press attempt to reach Wyatt by phone Tuesday night for comment was unsuccessful.

The Salem Statesman Journal reports that Dallas police and the Polk County district attorney's office are investigating the allegations.

Dallas Mayor Brian Dalton told city employees by email that the city is on sound footing.

The city council has appointed Kim Marr as acting city manager to replace Wyatt, who became city manager in November 2007.
