Following a nationwide search and local public input process, the Hutto City Council has voted to select James Earp as the new city manager.
Earp brings to Hutto over 16 years of experience with the City of Kyle, where he at the moment remains its assistant city manager. During his tenure with Kyle, he worked in and actively built many city departments, overseeing growth from 17,000 residents to a current population of about 60,000.
Earp said he is thrilled about the opportunity to serve the Hutto community through its own growth and future opportunities.
“Hutto has a rich history and great momentum, not to mention a strong community spirit,” said Earp. “I’m honored to join this incredible community and amazing team. Together, I look forward to building on the City’s strengths as we create the highest quality of life for years to come.”
