Colleyville’s new fiscal year was streamlined by Colleyville’s City Manager Jerry Ducay by $100,000 in savings in personnel costs.
The saving stem from the appointment of two assistant city managers who will continue their current roles while embracing new responsibilities according to a new release today from the City of Colleyville. Assistant City Manager Adrienne Lothery will continue to serve as the strategic services manager, which she has fulfilled since 2013. Assistant City Manager Mark Wood, who served as interim assistant city manager, will continue his role as executive director of economic development.
Ducay said, ” Through their work, Adrienne and Mark have shown they embrace Colleyville ideals and bring tenacity, heart, and creative solutions to the organization. The two are capable leaders and are the future of local government.”
The News Release continued, “The city now boasts one of the leanest staffs in the region and Ducay believes this fiscally conservative approach requires consolidation and a talented staff. A strong emphasis on customer service and community excellence are tenants of his organizational structure. He aims to created a culture where staff members are knowledgab le about city initiatives beyond their job descriptions and are willing to put forth the extraordinary efforts required. To this end, Ducay has challenged the city staff to expand interaction with residents and transparency of city processes.”
Ducay continued, “Community members should feel comfortable approaching staff members for their municipal quesstions and my staff will have the confidence t answer those questions.”

I LOVE the work that this new Mayor, Council, and City Manager are doing in order to preserve the foundation and atmosphere of Colleyville! Thank you for streamlining the financial status of our city and returning her to the “Conservative status” that made her so desirable when we arrived back in the early 70’s. The country atmosphere, wildlife, large lots, and proximity to Dallas and Fort Worth STILL makes her the most desirable city in which to live without the noise of one of the largest airports. DFW airport was not even here when we moved to Colleyville, but THANKS to my Conservative parents, and existing Conservative residents, the large lots, trees, and Colleyville were saved for US to enjoy!!!

Mr. Ducay has a org chart that provides accountability led by a knowledgeable staff who are empowered to forecast issues, solve problems, and lead the way for others to be successful. A winning combination! Perhaps a certain percent can go back to reward those city employees who exceed their job performance expectations. They would have earned it.
