City manager gets vote of CONFIDENCE from Seguin City Council Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- The Seguin City Council is once again singing the praises of City Manager Steve Parker. The council met in closed session on Tuesday to conduct Parker’s annual job performance evaluation. Council members returned to open session and agreed to give Parker a pay raise and to offer some additional incentives. The action was laid out in a motion made by City Councilman Bill Keller. “I move that we give our city manager 2.5 percent merit increase, a one-time merit payment incentive of $10,000, 40-hours additional personal leave annually, plus 20 hours annually that was given last year with the intent to be yearly, and that is my motion,” said Keller. The council unanimously approved that motion. Parker then spoke briefly, and said he

appreciates the vote of confidence. He also took some time to recognize city staff. He says those people are really what make things work in the city of Seguin. “Thank you, mayor and council. That means a lot. I’ve got to thank my team. They are amazing. All the list of accomplishments that we sent out, could (not) have been done (without them). It is amazing, the list, when you go back, and you review it --what happened just in the last year, it was a really crazy schedule. This community is my home. This team is my family, which includes you. I thank you very much and I will keep up the hard work,” said Parker. Parker who manages the dayto-day operations of the city, including its utilities, has been the city manager in Seguin since January 2020.
