At the October 27, 2016 Lubbock City Council Meeting, members appointed current City Attorney Chad Weaver as Interim City Manager.
City Manager James Loomis has announced his retirement effective November 18, 2016. Mr. Weaver will serve in an interim capacity from that time until a new manager is hired.
“We have confidence in Mr. Weaver’s ability to do this job,” Mayor Dan Pope said. “When you look at his service now and in the past, we believe he will provide strong leadership during this transition period.”
Mr. Weaver has been with the City of Lubbock since 2007, first serving as an Assistant City Attorney. He was named City Attorney in May of 2014.
“I’m grateful for the confidence that the City Council has shown in me, and I am proud to serve along with an excellent team of my fellow City employees who provide services to our citizens each day,” Weaver said. “We look forward to welcoming a new city manager to Lubbock soon.”
The City Council has named four finalists for the City Manager position and are in the process of conducting interviews with the finalists.
