(Seguin) -- The City of Seguin is saying goodbye to a longtime member of its leadership team. Deputy City Manager Rick Cortes is officially retiring. He was recognized during Tuesday’s Seguin City Council meeting. Mayor Donna Dodgen says Cortes has been a fixture at City Hall for nearly two decades. “Rick began working for the City of Seguin on September 5, 2006, as the assistant city
manager. On October 4, 2020, his position was upgraded to Deputy City Manager. He will retire from the city of Seguin on February 28, 2026, with a total of 19 years and five months of service with the city, and with over 40 years in public service,” said Dodgen. Dodgen says Cortes played a critical role during Winter Storm Uri in 2021, helping the city avoid costly rate increases. Retirement, pg. 3
