Council appoints Tony Kutz as city administrator in 3–2 vote
Summary
After multiple nomination attempts, the council appointed Tony Kutz as city administrator by a 3–2 vote. The appointment followed debate about leadership, certifications, and prior city turnover.
The Bandera City Council voted to appoint Tony Kutz as the city administrator after a contentious set of nominations and votes. A council member moved to appoint Kutz and the motion was seconded; the presiding officer announced that "Diana, Tammy, and Debbie are in favor" while "Lynn and Jeff are opposed," and the motion passed.
Supporters said leadership should be judged by example rather than certifications alone. One council member said, "Leadership is not defined by a vote, a title, salary, or a position. It's defined by example," arguing that the city had been lacking that quality. Opponents cited certification concerns and earlier debates over other candidates; the transcript shows the body's division in a 3–2 tally on the appointment.
