Bastrop, Tx–Former Bastrop County animal control director Betty Wade will not be moving to a new position working with the county park in Cedar Creek, officials announced today.
A job description for the park opening will be posted within a few days, said Gayle Wilhelm, executive assistant to Bastrop County Judge Ronnie McDonald. As recently as Monday, officials expected Wade to move into the park position after giving up her long term post with the animal shelter.
But that situation changed because Wade declined the move and will retire, Wilhelm said.
On Monday county commissioners voted to place the animal shelter and animal control operations under the direction of the sheriff’s department.
