Micki Rundell’s retirement party

Georgetown Chief Financial Officer Micki Rundell retired Sept. 30 after working for the city for 22 years.

When she began as the city’s accounting director in 1993, the city’s population was less than 18,000, according to a city news release. Since that time the population has grown to more than 56,000.

Rundell was named the city’s CFO in 2010. During her tenure in the city’s Finance and Administration Division, Rundell worked on projects including Sun City, Wolf Ranch Town Center, The Summit at Rivery Park and the city’s acquisition of the Chisholm Trail Special Utility District.
