Record Dublin City Council voted 7-0 on Oct. 12 to accept the resignation of City Manager Megan O'Callaghan, according to the city's action summary. The city's announcement says her departure takes effect Nov. 13. [1][2]

Record O'Callaghan joined the city in 2014 as public service director, later served as director of public works and deputy city manager, and became Dublin's sixth city manager in October 2022. The announcement gives no reason for her departure and does not name her next job. [2][3]

Record The city has not named an interim manager or described how council will find a successor. [2]

Record Council scheduled a special meeting for 4:30 p.m. Oct. 19 with one item, a closed session to consider the employment of a public employee. It held closed sessions on the same subject at special meetings on Feb. 17, May 4 and June 15. [4][5]

Open question Who will run the city after Nov. 13, and how council will run its search, are questions the records do not answer yet.
