More than six months after the departure of former Dallas city manager T.C. Broadnax , the city has narrowed down the search for his replacement to four semifinalists.
In a meeting of the City Council’s Ad Hoc Committee on Administrative Affairs Thursday morning, the candidates were identified as:
- Interim Dallas City Manager Kimberly Bizor Tolbert
- Fort Worth Assistant City Manager William Johnson
- Grand Rapids, Michigan City Manager Mark Washington
- Dekalb County, Georgia, Chief Operating Officer Zachary Williams
However, the semifinalists may be subject to change as early as next week because some members of the City Council have expressed disappointment with the process of narrowing down the pool of 50 candidates to four.
The Council is set to meet again on Monday at 1 p.m. to continue the discussion.
The last city manager
Dallas’s previous city manager T.C. Broadnax resigned earlier this year, later taking the same role in Austin . Broadnax cited his strained relationship with Mayor Eric Johnson for his departure.
