City manager Broadnax discusses police, homelessness, and more
T.C. Broadnax ’s first month on the job as Austin’s city manager is drawing to a close – just as the city is preparing to enter a momentous period during which several critical policy and personnel decisions will be made.
“Ultimately the Council looks to for leadership and guidance,” Broadnax said. “I believe the manager and the mayor’s relationship is one of the most important in all of city government, while understanding that you still have other people who are your bosses.”In addition to finding Austin’s next police chief, Broadnax will also be responsible for determining what civilian oversight of the Austin Police Department looks like.
He’s starting that off by rejecting the notion that the next budget will be one marked by austerity – that is, reduced or flat spending on city services. “But we will be looking at a much more laser-focused approach on services. We will need to ask the public and Council: If we can’t do everything, what are the most important things we do?”
