San Angelo Names Three Finalists for City Manager

SAN ANGELO, TX - The San Angelo City Council has named three finalists to interview for the position of city manager. 

The finalists are: 

• Jerry Hendrix, former interim city manager/assistant city manager of Kyle, Texas 

• Jud Rex, former city manager of Garland, Texas 

• Phillip Urrutia, assistant city manager of Garland, Texas 

The City will host a community meet-and-greet with the finalists at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 26, at the McNease Convention Center, 501 Rio Concho Drive. Candidates will briefly introduce themselves and speak with members of the public. 

On Wednesday, May 27, the candidates will interview with three panels: city council members, city department directors, and community leaders. 

City Council will make the final determination on who will serve as San Angelo’s next city manager. 

The City Council hired Mosaic Public Partners to assist with the search and hiring process. Mosaic presented 29 qualified candidates to a council subcommittee, which narrowed the field to six candidates. The full council then reduced the list to the finalists. 

Current City Manager Daniel Valenzuela is scheduled to retire Oct. 31 after 14  years of service to the City of San Angelo.
