Picture of new Austin City Manager TC Broadnax wearing a dark gray suit with a white shirt and light green tie.

City Manager TC Broadnax highlights priorities and key issues for the City of Austin.

As TC Broadnax begins his new role as Austin’s City Manager, his first priorities include addressing several key issues, primarily the hiring of a permanent police chief and working to ensure the finalization of a new contract agreement between the Austin Police Association and the City of Austin.

Other key priorities include emergency preparedness, affordable housing and addressing homelessness.


“Together, we will address these and other challenges with collaborative, transparent, inclusive, and equitable approaches,” Broadnax said. “As the City continues its rapid growth, we must grow in our unique roles as devoted City employees, boldly responding to challenges with creativity and compassion.”

Broadnax, who comes to Austin after serving for seven years as the city manager of Dallas, is now responsible for Austin’s more than 16,000 city employees and overseeing the city’s $5.5 billion budget. One of the key responsibilities of the city manager is drafting the annual budget and presenting it to the Mayor and City Council for approval.

While in Dallas he implemented several “firsts” including a Racial Equity Plan, Comprehensive Housing Plan, Economic Development Strategy and Incentive Policy, Strategic Mobility Plan, and Comprehensive Environmental and Climate Action Plan.

Prior to Dallas he served as city manager of Tacoma, Washington from 2012 through 2017. Before Tacoma, he served as assistant city manager in San Antonio, Texas for five years, and as assistant city manager in Pompano Beach, Florida for 10 years.

An International City/County Management Association (ICMA) credentialed manager, Broadnax earned his bachelor’s degrees in political science and communications at Washburn University, in Topeka, Kansas and a master’s degree in public administration from the University of North Texas.

Broadnax will also receive an honorary Doctor of Public Service degree from Washburn University on May 11, 2024.
