Sculley plans to stay through the transition to the next city manager, but will leave no later than June 30, 2019.

“This is my decision. I've wanted to retire for at least two years, but have stayed to see through a number of major city projects such as the 2017 Bond Program development and approval, the Alamo Plan, our Equity Assessment Program and the Frost Tower P3. City Hall will be magnificent when it is fully restored in 2020. I’m tremendously proud of everything we’ve accomplished, and with the City’s excellent and highly capable executive team and staff, I have great confidence that positive progress will continue in our City – our San Antonio,” said Sculley.

“Sheryl Sculley has been a truly outstanding city manager. She has delivered 13 years of exemplary fiscal stewardship. Under her leadership, San Antonio has become the best-run big city in the country," Mayor Ron Nirenberg said. 

She was the longest-serving city manager in San Antonio's history.
