Keller parks staff announces resignation; board begins transition planning
Summary
A long‑time parks staff member announced resignation effective later this month to accept a parks director role in Roanoke; the Keller board thanked the staffer and discussed next steps for filling the position and covering duties during the transition.
Chair called the June meeting to order and, mid‑agenda, the board heard an unexpected staffing announcement: a member of the parks staff said they had submitted a resignation to the city manager and that "Thursday, the 25th will be my last day." The staff member added they would be going to "another city to become their parks and rec director." (Staff member)
Board members responded with expressions of thanks and praise. The Chair said the departure was an "awesome opportunity for you professionally" and called the staffer’s contributions a "legacy" for Keller. Several board members said the staffer would be missed and that the city manager would determine the search and appointment process. (Chair)
The board did not record a formal personnel action at the meeting; members discussed informing the city manager and said they would follow the manager's lead on recruiting a replacement. No timeline or formal interim staffing plan was specified in the meeting transcript.
