Mark McDaniel Bypassed in Dallas

DALLAS (Staff/AP) – A former city manager in Tyler did not make the cut in Dallas. Some had thought Mark McDaniel had the inside track to be city manager in Dallas. McDaniel is currently Dallas’ assistant city manager. But Friday morning, Mayor Mike Rawlings announced they had selected T.C. Broadnax to replace A.C. Gonzales for the post. Broadnax is currently the city manager in Tacoma, Washington. Before going there, he was assistant city manager in San Antonio. McDaniel was the Tyler City Manager from 2008 to 2014. He started his new job in Dallas on September 2nd, 2014. The five finalists met with city officials this week. The public got to meet them Tuesday night. Then, at Friday’s called council meeting, the city council’s decision was announced. Broadnax faces a final city council vote on Wednesday.
