On November 29, 2018, Sculley announced that she is retiring from her post after thirteen years, no later than June 30, 2019. Her departure is expected to become a campaign issue as Nirenberg seeks a second term as mayor in the spring of 2019. Among those contemplating a challenge to Nirenberg is city councilman Greg Brockhouse, a Sculley critic. Sculley's decision to vacate the powerful post came less than a month after voters approved an amendment to the city charter, promoted by the firefighters union, that limits future salaries of Sculley's successors. Some saw the charter amendment as a referendum on her compensation and management style.<ref name=jbaugh>Josh Baugh, "Sculley Decides It's Time to Retire: Successes, controversy have marked tenure", ''San Antonio Express-News'', November 30, 2018, p. 1, A8.</ref>

In commentary in ''The San Antonio Express-News'', Gilbert Garcia said that Sculley "towered above the elected officials whose policies she enacted." Greg Brockhoue, considered one of only two [[conservative]]s on the 12-member city council, recalled that Sculley reminded him as he took office in 2017 that she had seen forty-nine city council members, who are term-limited, come and go in the preceding twelve years. Sculley endured attacks from the municijpal public safety unions but managed twelve thousand city employees under four mayors with what Garcia called "utter assurance." In the end, Garcia took the view that Sculley was "bigger than the city she served" though San Antonio is the seventh largest U.S. city.<ref>Gilbert Garcia, "Manager was bigger than the city she served," ''The San Antonio Express-News'', November 30, 2018, pp. 1, A2.</ref>
