The Bryan City Council voted unanimously on Nov. 11 to appoint Andrew Nelson as the city's new city manager.
Council members praised Nelson's combination of private-sector leadership and prior public-service experience during a roll-call vote. A council member who moved the appointment said, "it's going to be hard calling him city manager Nelson, because I've called him mayor Nelson all this time," and added that Nelson brings "the skill set and the passion for the city of Bryan." The vote was taken by roll call and approved unanimously.
Council members described the finalist field as highly qualified and said they wanted a leader who can continue the city's current trajectory on economic development and service delivery. The council did not provide a timetable for Nelson's official start date during the meeting; after the vote the mayor invited Nelson and family for a photo at the dais.
The appointment came amid other agenda business and public comments earlier in the meeting about public-safety concerns within the fire department and local water planning. The council confirmed the appointment as part of its regular agenda and completed the required roll-call procedure.
