The Seguin City Council officially hires new city manager momentum that you all have created," said Parker.
By Darren Dunn (Seguin) -- It’s official. Steve Parker is the new city manager for the city of Seguin. The council unanimously approved the hire on Tuesday evening. Parker, who currently serves as the assistant city manager in San Marcos, thanked the council and says he’s looking forward serving the citizens of Seguin. "Mayor and council I just wanted to let you know how honored I am to be your next city manager. You know, I'm the type of individual that truly cherishes friendships and relationships and so making the move, leaving San Marcos was not an easy decision but when I decided to explore the opportunities here in Seguin, I did a lot of due diligence related to making this move and I did a lot of interviews with employees, developers, consultants and what I really found was this is something that can be very special. The momentum that you created here in Seguin, your dedication to the core services during the interview process really stood out to me with the things like police and fire and street maintenance -- you know those are all things that I really hold dear and as city manager, I think I"m going to be able to take those things and continue the
Parker, 48, replaces longtime Seguin City Manager Doug Faseler, who is set to officially retire at the end of January 2020, although his last day in the office is likely to be sometime around Thanksgiving. Parker says the city already has a good team in place, and he is thankful that he will be able to hit the ground running in Seguin. "I have a lot of respect for the team that Mr. Faseler has created here, the directors as well as Assistant City Manager (Rick) Cortes. That momentum is nothing to be taken lightly. The things that I learned about your organization and the productivity and efficiencies, the customer service levels that you maintain are something that I am going to aspire to keep that going and take even to the next level if possible. But with that, I just wanted to say how honored I am to be your next city manager and I'm looking very forward to January," said Parker. Parker's contract calls for him to receive an annual base salary of $230,000. Parker says that he and his family will be moving to Seguin, and they look forward to being a part of the community. Parker's first official day on the job will be January 6.
