City Council Reverses Course on City Manager Position

At a Special Meeting of the City of Shoreacres City Council on Thursday, August 28, 2025, called by Mayor Jennings, the Council reversed its previous selection for City Manager. It declined to enter into an Agreement for Professional Services and Employment as City Manager with Walter Gant, III.

The meeting was well-attended, and the Council heard from many residents who were passionate about the months-long process of selecting Mr. Gant. The vote to enter into the Agreement failed on a 1-aye, 4-nay vote. You may view the video on Youtube.

Democracy isn’t always neat and pretty, but it remains the best form of government.

I am thankful to those residents who chose to be involved and grateful to the council for their due diligence.

Felicia Ramos was selected as the mayor pro tem in a unanimous vote at the May 12, 2025, meeting of the Shoreacres City Council.

Felicia is entering her ninth year serving on the council. Her educational and work background is in construction and project management. She was a tremendous help in our recent water and sewer infrastructure upgrades.

As you can see in the photo above, Felicia has hit the ground running and attended our staff meeting this morning. I met with her yesterday and gave her a rundown of our current personnel status, finances, and challenges. I look forward to working more closely with her as Mayor Pro Tem.

Please join me in welcoming her to her new role. She may be reached by email at framos@shoreacrestx.us.
