The City of Marble Falls is saddened to share the passing of former City Manager Mickiel “Mike” Hodge, who honorably served the community for 12 years from June 23, 2014, until his retirement on January 31, 2026.

Mike Hodge dedicated more than a decade of leadership, vision, and service to Marble Falls, guiding the City through a period of meaningful growth and progress. During his tenure, he worked tirelessly to strengthen city services, enhance public safety, and invest in critical infrastructure that will benefit the community for generations.

He played a pivotal role in advancing the City’s One Water initiative, a forward-thinking approach to sustainable water management, and was instrumental in building a high-performing organization rooted in professionalism, teamwork, and long-term success. Under his leadership, the City completed significant capital improvement projects, including upgrades to water and wastewater systems, flood mitigation efforts following the 2018 flood, and enhancements to downtown Main Street.
