Just after midnight following a marathon City Council meeting, officials came out of executive session and voted unanimously to name interim City Manager Julie Oakley to the position of city manager.
Council Member Gretchen Vance's motion during the Nov. 18 meeting authorized Mayor Sandy Cox to negotiate and execute Oakley's employment agreement, but no timeline has yet been set for when she will officially take over the role and what the terms of her contract will be.
Oakley was named interim city manager following executive session of a Sept. 9 council meeting. That decision came in the wake of the sudden Aug. 19 resignation of Steve Jones, who had been Lakeway's city manager since 2005.
