Burnet City Manager David Vaughn was recognized for his 25 years of civic service during a City Council meeting Tuesday, Aug. 26.
During the ceremony, Vaughn was presented with a 25-year service pin and a specially engraved award to commemorate his milestone.
“David, on behalf of the City Council, our employees, and the people of Burnet, I want to thank you for your 25 years of service,” said Mayor Gary Wideman at the meeting. “We are truly fortunate to have had your leadership, and we look forward to many more years of working together to keep Burnet strong and moving forward.”
Vaughn began his long journey with Burnet government in 2000 as an administrative clerk in the Water and Sewer Department, according to a media release from the city. Just a few, he transferred to the Administration Department, and by December of that year, he was promoted to purchasing agent.
In May 2002, Vaughn became the city’s assistant finance director, a job he held for 2½ years before stepping into the role of director of Planning and Development in October 2004. Four months later, he was promoted to assistant city manager.
For more than six years, Vaughn served as assistant city manager, helping guide Burnet through significant growth and development and stepping in as interim city manager when needed.
He officially became Burnet’s city manager on April 26, 2011. Under his guidance, the city has advanced critical infrastructure improvements, invested in parks and quality-of-life amenities, and strengthened the foundation for long-term growth.
