Summary
The City Council formally appointed David Veil as Odessa city manager, approving his employment agreement and setting a June 2 start date.
The Odessa City Council formally appointed David Veil as city manager May 20 after staff confirmed he had signed an employment agreement.
Interim city staff member Richard Morton introduced the item and said Veil had signed the employment agreement and was “excited about starting his role as your city manager on June 2.” Councilman Thompson moved for appointment and Councilman Haney seconded; the motion passed by voice vote with all members saying “aye.”
