Kyle City Council announces new city manager

Kyle has a new city manager.

Kyle City Council announced Bryan Langley's appointment to the position at its regular meeting April 18 at City Hall, located at 100 W. Center St.

The city had been without a permanent city manager for about eight months since former City Manager Scott Sellers resigned in September. Assistant City Manager Jerry Hendrix had been acting city manager since July.

“I am thrilled to become a part of the Kyle team, and I look forward to working with the mayor, council and our dynamic staff to serve this community,” Langley said in a press release.

Langley was selected by the council as a lone finalist for the position during its special meeting April 14.

Mayor Travis Mitchell noted Langley has an “adept understanding” of what the Kyle community needs.

“His background, stellar references and knowledge of municipal government in the state of Texas make him a perfect fit for Kyle,” Mitchell said.

The council will meet again at City Hall on May 2 at 7 p.m.
