City staff reorganization saves more than
$100,000 in personnel costs
Colleyville City Manager Jerry Ducay welcomes the new
fiscal year with a streamlined organization structure that
saves more than $100,000 in personnel costs.
The savings stem from the appointment of two assistant
city managers who will continue their current roles while
embracing new responsibilities. Assistant City Manager
Adrienne Lothery will continue to serve as the strategic
services manager, which she has fulfilled since 2013.
Assistant City Manager Mark Wood, who served as interim
assistant city manager, will continue his role as executive
director of economic development.
"Through their work, Adrienne and Mark have shown they
embrace Colleyville ideals and bring tenacity, heart, and
creative solutions to the organization," Ducay said. "The
two are capable leaders and are the future of local
government."
