Shoreacres City Council on Monday took no action regarding appointment of an acting city manager until such time as a full-time candidate is appointed.
A motion was made to not approve the item. However, the motion died for lack of a second.
City Manager David Stall, who is retiring at the end of the month, stated that he has hired Buck Laquey to serve as assistant city manager. Laquey has previously served as finance director for the City of Elgin, and will start his position on January 15. He will be operating under a contract through Texas First Group, a firm that provides interim management services for Texas municipalities.
After Stall's departure, Laquey would become interim city manager, Stall said.
The city council moved discussion regarding coyotes until the next city council meeting.
No other action items were on the agenda. All members were present. Agenda
