The search is over and Seguin has selected its next city manager.

Steve Parker was announced as the city’s next top administrator in a statement released Thursday from city hall.

“After reviewing approximately 40 applicants for the job, Steve Parker immediately rose to the top,” Mayor Don Keil said. “Along with his proven expertise in managing all aspects of city management, he has an enthusiasm and a personality that will go well with the rapid growth and development of our city.”

The selection ends a five-month search to replace City Manager Doug Faseler, who earlier this year announced his retirement effective in January 2020.

City Council will vote at its meeting Tuesday to officially appoint Parker.

“I am honored to be selected to serve as city manager of Seguin and look forward to joining their amazing team,” Parker said. “Together, with the dedicated staff and proud community, we will focus on core services and economic development to continue to make Seguin a great place to live, work, prosper and visit. I look forward to creating something special here, and my family and I are excited to call Seguin our new home.”
