(Finally a chance to voice our opinions. - promoted by Matt Glazer)
Tonight, January 15 from 6 - 8 PM at the Palmer Auditorium, the public will have an opportunity to meet and talk with the finalists in our search to hire a new city manager. Last Thursday, the City Council announced the finalists for the position: Jelynne Burley of San Antonio and Marc Ott of Ft. Worth.
We will be making our decision on the new city manager after the public has an opportunity to provide input. The finalists will be making 15 minute presentations and the public will have the opportunity to meet with them afterwards. Comments can then be provided to the City at the forum. If you choose as well, please send any comments that you may have to my office directly.
Clearly, the lack of public process in hiring the new city manger is troubling and this opportunity for public input is certainly not the full public process that I would have liked to have had. However, I do want to make sure that you are aware of the public forum taking place.
Please attend if you can. If you have any other thoughts you'd like to share on the finalists, please feel free to contact my office at (512) 974-2255 or online.
