Broadnax at a Feb. 8 ceremony to announce a donation for a law enforcement training center at the school.Rawlings, in announcing Broadnax’s hire Dec. 9, 2016, described him as a “very special and successful man” in all his previous jobs. “He’s all business, and focused on the right things,” Rawlings said that day.
It’s clear none of that — neither the working relationship between mayor and city manager nor performance expectations — has been in place since Rawlings left. Talk to anyone involved in Broadnax’s pending departure and they’ll use the word “dysfunction.” It’s a mushy word that stands in for what’s a sorry state of affairs at City Hall.
Broadnax was more of a municipal systems operator, not a systems builder. Today we need an innovative architect running Dallas. Yet given the chaos inside 1500 Marilla, it’s hard to imagine any potential city manager who is up to the job ahead would want it.
