Finalists will address public at March 25 forum
Selecting the city manager is perhaps the single most important duty our elected Council members have, as is the case in any city operating under a Council-manager form of government. Under this structure, Council sets policy and passes ordinances, but it is the manager – who is hired by Council to oversee the city’s thousands of employees and multibillion-dollar budget – who is tasked with implementing that policy and honoring ordinances.
Broadnax and Hensley will take the stage at a forum held by the city next Monday, March 25, to address the public and answer questions about how they would approach the job. The next day, the two finalists will participate in a closed-door interview with Council members. Mayor Kirk Watson hopes Council can take a vote directing staff to negotiate a contract with the body’s preferred candidate at Council’s April 4 meeting.
The public forum will be held March 25 from 6-7:30pm at the city’s Permitting and Development Center, 6310 Wilhelmina Delco Dr. The forum will also be streamedhas been Austin’s independent news source for over 40 years, expressing the community’s political and environmental concerns and supporting its active cultural scene.
