San Augustine Mayor Leroy Hughes assumes interim city manager position until replacement is found

San Augustine Mayor Leroy Hughes was officially named interim city manager at Tuesday night's city council meeting as the process begins to fill the void left by the sudden death of City Manager Bruce Milstead earlier this month.

 

This is the third time in Mayor Hughes' seven-years in office he has assumed the duties of interim city manager. Two other city managers either retired or resigned the position.

 

Mayor Hughes says he pretty well stays on top of the day-to-day workings and projects in San Augustine, so taking over until a full-time replacement is found will not be a tough task.

 

The search for a new San Augustine City Manager begins immediately with the placement of an ad on the Texas Municipal League website. City Secretary Cinda Garner says the council will probably review applications as they are received.

 

Milstead had returned home to San Augustine and had the city manager position almost a year when he passed away from complications after heart surgery, brought on by a heart attack on Jan. 18.

 

San Augustine City Council also set Feb. 11 as the date for a council retreat for goal planning.
