City manager search down to four

Candidates' resumes come with highs and lows
City manager search down to four
Finalists for Elgin city manager — Aretha Ferrell-Benavides, Theo Melancon, Jared Miller and Wayne Reed — met with residents July 29 ahead of interviews with City Council Wednesday, July 30.

Four veteran public administrators with extensive experience leading cities in Texas and beyond are finalists in Elgin’s ongoing search for a new city manager.

Aretha Ferrell-Benavides, Theo Melancon, Jared Miller and Wayne Reed visited Elgin for a public meet-and-greet after press time Tuesday evening — all are scheduled for closed-door interviews with City Council July 30. A fifth candidate withdrew from the process last week, city officials said.

“Each of these four individuals has a wealth of experience and expertise to share with us, and we are pleased that they are all interested in sharing their knowledge and experience with our community,” Mayor Theresa McShan said. “I know I speak for my fellow council members when I say that we are all looking forward to getting to know the candidates better and hearing their impressions of Elgin.”
