Two City of Taylor directors have been given additional responsibilities, and the city has eliminated one vacant executive position.
Tyler Bybee and LaShon Gros have both been promoted to managing directors, which is a new position. The promotions will allow Bybee and Gros to take up responsibilities which once would have been under the city’s Deputy City Manager.
“We’re thrilled to have LaShon and Tyler join the City Management staff,” said Brian LaBorde, City Manager. “Their years of public service have prepared them well for these expanded leadership roles, and I am confident they will continue to serve the City of Taylor with dedication, vision, and professionalism.”
A statement from the city said creating the new positions and eliminating the vacant one would increase the city’s operational efficiency with no additional cost.
Bybee moves from Parks and Recreation Director to Managing Director of Community Services. Bybee will now oversee the library, animal services and communications department in addition to parks and recreation.
Gros moves from Director of Human Resources to Managing Director of Administrative Services. She will now supervise the City Clerk and Finance departments in addition to HR.
Bybee and Gros both joined the city as directors in 2021.
