Podcast returns with guest, explores council structure

The city’s new podcast, “78621 Live,” invited interim City Manager Isaac Turner as its first guest last month for a quick discussion on council dynamics. 

Turner, who stepped into the interim role in January, has worked in city management for more than 40 years across Texas and Florida. In the eight-minute episode, he addressed his goals, Elgin’s nine-member council structure and the importance of public service.

“I want to make a difference while I’m here — I don’t want to just keep a seat warm,” he said. “This is the fourth interim assignment I’ve done. Elgin has some very good people in the community, some very good staff members — which is really good.”
