Former City Engineer Lance Overstreet is listed in City Council's background packet for their April 5th meeting. Overstreet is on the committee developing a regional flood plan Council will consider spending another $600,000 in state money on the project.
He stepped down at City Engineer November 2020. The City has not been successful in finding Overstreet's replacement for a year and five months. It's been a hard job to fill since the city removed the professional engineer requirement for the Executive Director of Public Works job. City Manager Daniel Valenzuela removed the requirement for Ricky Dickson and kept that in place for Shane Kelton.
It might be a challenge reporting to and being evaluated by someone lacking your basic skill set. High turnover in engineering leadership and difficulty in hiring a City Engineer should be of concern to City Council.
Update 6-7-22: The City Engineer hunt remains on according to Concho Valley Homepage.
Update 6-29-22:
Update 8-29-22: SGR remains on the case to find San Angelo a City Engineering.
Update 1-25-23: As of 1-1-23 the City promoted Interim City Engineer/Assistant City Engineer to the City Engineer position. There has been no announcement of this change.
