After closed session, council directs RFP for bulkhead repairs and hires Mary Juarez as city manager
Summary
Following executive session, the council directed staff to issue an RFP for bulkhead repairs at 420 Bigelow and voted to hire Mary Juarez as city manager under the contract terms presented.
After returning from a closed executive session, the Aransas Pass City Council voted to direct the city manager to issue a request for proposals for bulkhead repairs at 420 Bigelow and approved hiring Mary Juarez as city manager under the terms specified in an employee contract.
The actions came immediately after the council’s attorney‑privileged executive session; when the council reconvened in open session a motion passed to issue the RFP on the bulkhead repair project. Council also moved, seconded and approved an employment contract to hire Mary Juarez as city manager with terms described in the sealed contract presented to council.
Both motions were adopted by voice vote; council recorded the actions in open session after the executive session concluded at 9:02 p.m.
Why it matters: Issuing the RFP begins procurement for a capital repair at a city waterfront location. Hiring a city manager is a consequential personnel action that establishes the city’s top executive under an employment contract approved by the council.
