New city manager hired

    Edna City Council’s search for a new city manager came to an end March 5 when they approved hiring Don Doering after meeting in a short executive session.
    Doering comes to Edna from the City of Schulenberg where he was city manager for three years. He has a degree in Natural Resources Conservation and at one time worked as a Virginia State Park Ranger. He earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration and went on to manage property owner’s associations in Virginia and Texas. He is a past president of the board of directors of the statewide Property Associations of Virginia, Inc.
    “My desire to become a city manager led me to Beaverton, Mich., then in Texas to Teague, Schulenburg and now happily to Edna,” Doering said. “I am looking forward to moving to Edna and being an active part of the community. I feel that my experience can help make improvements.”
    He said he was able to apply for and receive numerous grants while serving as a city manager.
