Hutto City Manager David Mitchell will resign his position with the city effective Dec. 31.

Mitchell joined Hutto's city staff in 2009 as assistant city manager and was promoted to the city manager position in 2011. He is leaving Hutto to accept the position of city manager in Harker Heights, Texas, a role he will assume Jan. 1, according to a city news release.

"I have really enjoyed my time here in Hutto as both your assistant city manager and city manager," Mitchell said in his resignation letter to the city. "Hutto has grown and continues to be in a prime location for future growth. I look forward to watching Hutto's continued growth and successes."

City Council will meet Nov. 7 in closed session to discuss accepting Mitchell's resignation and looking for his replacement, the news release said.
