Dumas City Manager Arbie Taylor gave notice to the Dumas City Commissioners in their regular meeting Tuesday that he intended to retire from city service effective July 30. “It has been an honor to serve the citizens of Dumas and work with the great people in all the city departments,” he wrote in the letter he presented to the commissioners. His last actual work day will be July 29.
Dumas Mayor Bob Brinkmann and the commissioners expressed surprise at the move and said they wished him well. Taylor said only that it was the “right time” as an explanation for his unexpected action; he did not elaborate on any future plans.
