City Talent Drain Continues


The City of San Angelo lost its longtime Airport Manager today.  David Knapp, the city's construction manager quit in May for work in Austin. 

Oddly, Austin is where former Economic Development Director Roland Pena landed after leaving city employment in February.  Over the last eight months Fire Department and Street/Bridge leadership had big changes as well. 

The City's top leaders remain firmly entrenched, City Manager Daniel Valenzuela, Assistant City Managers Michael Dane and Rick Weise and Executive Director of Public Works Ricky Dickson.  Dickson has not been heard from in years despite being over our streets (in bad repair), water (which has become unaffordable for many), and trash/landfill (which Mayor Gunter wanted to rebid). 

The state of the City address will be held in August.  It could be blistering.
