The overview
Cain has worked in the city of Garden Ridge for 22 years and has worked in municipal government for 43 years.
Cain said Garden Ridge has provided her with the best mayors, council members and staff of her career.
“I think it’s time to bring in some new ideas, new thoughts, some new energy,” Cain said during the meeting.
Moving forward
The retirement letter states Cain’s last day as city manager will be March 22, 2025, giving the city enough time to find a new city manager.
Mayor Robb Erickson said the plan is to have the new city manager start at least a month before Cain retires, so the transition can be seamless.
Erickson said the goal is to make a decision on the plan to move forward with the application process during the August meeting.
