MIDLAND, Texas — It appears to be the end of the road for long-time Midland City Manager Courtney Sharp. The city's spokeswoman confirmed late Friday that they are parting ways with Sharp.
Mayor Patrick Payton says they have been working with Sharp in conversation and planning for his next step in life and career, as well as the city's next steps and needs for the future.
Sharp has served as Midland's city manager for 12 years. His last day will be September 18.
"As I begin to write the next chapter of my life, I will always cherish the memories that were made here in Midland," Sharp said in a letter to city staff members.
Midland City Council will be working with the staff they have in place in the city manager's office and take their time to find someone who can successfully fill the position.
