Effective September 19, Etienne will no longer be with the city, according to a copy of the letter provided to Community Impact by the city. His resignation comes after former Liberty Hill City Manager Paul Brandenburg resigned in July.
The gist
Katie Amsler, Liberty Hill’s director of community engagement and communications, said Etienne was leaving for a new opportunity.
In the Aug. 28 letter, Etienne said he would leave a to-do list of items he was working on with the city, and he noted he would be available should the city need to reach out.
What they’re saying
Etienne wrote that it had been an honor to serve the city.
“I have genuinely valued the opportunity to contribute to the city’s priorities including spearheading and negotiating the short-term and temporary water supply agreements with the cities of Georgetown and Round Rock and securing TWDB and WIFIA federal funding for the Advanced Water Purification Facility/DPR, and other public works projects,” he wrote.
What else?
Brandenburg’s role is being held by Interim City Manager Ken Nickel while the city looks for a new city manager. Amsler said the city is in the second round of interviews for the position, and the new city manager will handle the search for a new deputy city manager.
