Council To Face Leadership Turnover in Key Areas?

San Angelo City Council meets tomorrow morning to begin strategic planning for the coming fiscal year.  City staff posted an agenda for the session which lists the top three priorities.  Will City Council ask questions about turnover in those three areas?  

Water Chief Allison Strube left in September 2022.  Economic Development Director Guy Andrews resigned last July, effective in August.  Both positions are yet to be filled.

San Angelo finally filled its City Engineer position, vacant since Lance Overstreet resigned in November 2020.  The announcement came in a February 2023 press release.

For the city to make progress on its strategic initiatives it needs capable, stable leadership.  That hasn't been the case for much of the last year in two of the three areas.

Update 6-1-23:  Add the Assistant Water Utilities Director to the key leadership vacancy list.  

Also under development:

...there is currently a vacant “Chief Planner” position within the Planning Division. The department has been unable to fill the position with a qualified applicant...

And in the City Manager's Office the Executive Office Coordinator position is newly vacant.  Becky Dunn joins former City Clerk Julia Antilley in leaving their longtime positions. 

Update 6-8-23:  Water Utilities Assistant Director Andy Vecellio submitted his resignation on May 12th and June 2nd was his last day with the City of San Angelo.  Vecellio will have a new employer but will be staying in San Angelo.

Executive Office Coordinator Becky Dunn's last day with the city was April 30th.  She retired from the City of San Angelo.

Guy Andrews landed a Client Relations position with Centurion Planning and Design.  Former City Engineer Russell Pehl's employment with Centurion ended in January 2023 according to his LinkedIn profile.
