T.C. Broadnax Recommended for Austin City Manager Role

Austin City Council subcommittee selects Broadnax, with a vote on contract negotiations set for next week.

T.C. Broadnax, the outgoing city manager of Dallas, is recommended by an Austin City Council subcommittee to be Austin's next city manager.
Broadnax and Sara Hensley, the city manager of Denton, were the finalists for the position, sharing their visions for the city at a public event.
Broadnax has a history of addressing homelessness and public safety in Dallas, and aims to bring his experience to Austin.
Several local labor unions expressed concerns about Broadnax's communication and accessibility, preferring Hensley for the city manager role.
The City Council vote to authorize negotiation with Broadnax is scheduled for next Thursday, with contract negotiations to include salary, benefits, and start date.
