A Message From City Manager Brent Parker:
After 25 years of serving the City of Wylie, I will officially retire on January 4.
Having the opportunity to serve my hometown for the past 25 years has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. I began my career in the fire service and had the opportunity to work my way through the ranks, eventually serving as Fire Chief. That journey ultimately led me into city administration, and since October 2021, I have had the honor of serving Wylie as City Manager.
When I started in the fire service over 25 years ago, I could not have imagined where this career would take me. Each role brought different responsibilities and challenges, but the purpose remained the same; serving the community I call home.
I am grateful for the people I have had the opportunity to work alongside, for the dedication and professionalism of our employees, and for the trust placed in me throughout the years. I am proud of what we have accomplished together, but more than anything, I am grateful for the relationships and friendships built along the way.
While this chapter of my career is coming to a close, I am looking forward to what comes next.
Thank you, Wylie. It has truly been an honor to serve my hometown.
