(Seguin) Seguin City Manager Steve Parker has been on the job for a little more than a year, and he is already getting high marks from the city council. Council members recently met behind closed doors to conduct Parker’s first evaluation. The council gave him a huge vote of confidence, and also a 2.5 percent pay raise. That falls in line with what other city employees got this fiscal year.
Parker says they have accomplished a great deal over the last 12 months. He says he’s pleased with the work of his staff, and he says he has worked to develop a good working relationship with the city council. Building that relationship, however, was made a bit more challenging after the November general election. That’s because half of the council changed due to term limits. But, Parker says the new council members have hit the ground running, and good things continue to happen in Seguin.
