Sat, March 9th 2024 at 8:52 PMThe City of Austin is moving forward with their search for a new, permanent, City Manager. They have narrowed down their search to three candidates.
Watson added, "it should come as no surprise that there’s competition for a quality candidate once applicant names have been publicly released. That is the challenge as we work to balance the reality of recruiting and hiring top talent with our commitment to transparency as well as following state law. Some candidates may not apply at all or, as in this case, the City from which the person comes works to keep them.
Austin hasn't had a permanent City Manager since Spencer Cronk was ousted last year following his handling of the 2023 ice storm. Cronk lost favor with many city council members since the communication failures mirrored those of the 2021 winter storm. Now, some city council members said communication is the top skill they're looking for in the next City Manager.
City Council, the hiring committee in this case, said they're ready to start this new chapter, with a candidate who's in this for the long haul. "With the finalists that we have, and knowing the values and priorities of our community, I think Austinites are going to be pleased with with these candidates. I think it's going to be tough to to choose from, but ultimately, this is one of the most important decisions I will make as a City Council member," said Fuentes.
