Howdy Y’all! My name is Michael Montgomery and I will be operating the ELGL50 Instagram account for another exciting edition of #ELGLTakeoverTuesday. (Tuesday, September 18, 2018)
For the last two years, I have served as the Town Administrator for the Town of Bartonville, Texas. Bartonville is a rural community in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. I will be sharing what it is like managing a small organization (seven total employees) in a small (pop. 1,600) Texas town.
Prior to my arrival at the Town of Bartonville, I served as the Assistant to the City Manager in Celina, Texas.
I attended Colorado State University (Go Rams!) for my undergraduate degree and the University of North Texas (best trick play ever) for my MPA.
In my free time I enjoy searching for the perfect slice of pizza, entertaining my 6-month-old daughter, and watching the best team in the National Football League (spoiler alert, it’s the Green Bay Packers).
Here is a preview of what to look forward to:
- Overview of Town Administrator job duties
- Tour of Bartonville, Texas
- Field trip to the Argyle Fire District Station
- Town Council meeting (with adoption of the annual budget!)
- Pizza, lots and lots of pizza
So, buckle up, please make sure your seat backs and tray tables are in full upright position, and head over to ELGL50 on Instagram for #ELGLTakoverTuesday in Bartonville, Texas!
