On Monday, June 21, his first day at work, Robert Bradshaw, the new city manager of Port Aransas, pauses during a meeting with Planning and Projects Manager Dave Parsons, who has acted as interim city manager over the past seven months, and executive secretary Pat Garrett. Bradshaw previously was city manager at Indian River Shores, Fla. He was hired by the Port Aransas City Council after a months-long search for a new city manager to replace Michael Kovacs, who left Port Aransas in December to take a job as assistant city manager in Park City, Utah.
