City manager pick rejects Elgin offer

City officials announced last week that Wayne Reed has declined an offer to become Elgin’s next city manager. 

Reed, current Cibolo city manager, was one of four finalists named last month in the city’s search for a new top administrator. He reportedly told Elgin leaders the move was not the right fit for him and his family.

“While we are disappointed, we understand that he must do what is best for him and his family and respect his decision,” Mayor Theresa McShan said in a prepared statement. “We appreciate his time and consideration of the position and wish him the best.”
