In a press release Wednesday, City Manager Bradley Ford announced he would resign from his position with the city. His last day will be February 28, 2026. Ford has been with the city since 2017, serving as the City Manager since 2020.

Ford said the decision did not come easy, but it was the right one for his family. He said over the next few months, he will “remain committed to supporting the Council” to help move Waco forward.

The council will begin a search for Waco’s next City Manager soon and will provide regular updates on the search.
