CITY & COUNTY GOV’T

It’s Official Brian Manley Named Chief of the Austin Police Department " Brian Manley has been an extraordinary public servant, dedicating 28 years of his life to Austin and protecting its citizens."

City Manager Spencer Cronk

A

ustin City Manager Spencer Cronk has appointed Brian Manley Chief of the Austin Police Department. The appointment requires City Council confirmation.

Cronk held a press conference at Austin City Hall on June 8th to announce the appointment. “I received an incredible amount of feedback from the community and it was informative in my decision-making process,” Cronk said. “Brian Manley has been an extraordinary public servant, dedicating 28 years of his life to Austin and protecting its citizens. I strongly believe there is no better candidate to serve our community and lead our police force.”

Manley was appointed Interim Chief of the Austin Police Department in December 2016 and has served his entire law enforcement career – spanning almost three decades – with APD. He was named Chief of Staff in

January 2015 after serving as an Assistant Chief for three years.

Over the past month Chief Manley participated in two televised town halls and met with various public safety stakeholders. The City of Austin hired GovHR USA to compile a report of all of the public feedback and facilitate interview panels.

“As part of the interview and public engagement process, themes emerged on areas for improvement for the Austin Police Department,” said Cronk. “I have asked that Chief Manley focus on five key areas including safety, community policing and transparency, staffing, training, and equity and inclusion.”

An item was placed on the June 14 City Council agenda to confirm the appointment as required by state law.

CITY & COUNTY GOV’T

City Council Member Ora Houston Announces Retirement C

ouncil Member Ora Houston, District #1, has decided after months of personal discernment and conversations with confidants, that she will not seek a second term on the City Council.

I will continue to represent all constituents

“It has been a joy, privilege and a huge responsibility to represent the ‘blended family’ of District #1,” said Houston. “Over the next seven months there are major issues to address and votes to take which will impact our City for generations, and the individuals who live here now and in the future.”

with integrity, vigor and compassion until my term ends.

“The council must make equitable decisions on the land development code and associated chapters; the adoption of the FY 19 budget; the contents/amounts to include in the 2018 Bond Proposal to be voted on in November; the possibility of placing changes to the City Charter on the same ballot; and assuring that ‘justice for all’ is accountable, transparent, unbiased, effective, and affordable.”

Council Member Houston will focus on executing the responsibilities as the representative of the District and will continue to support the City to not lose sight that all planning, transit and infrastructure, must be inclusive of the outer edges of the City not only the center city.

The future for her will be a blend of a lot more personal time with opportunities for continued activism and citizen engagement.

“For three years, five months and 8 days (but who’s counting), I laid a foundation of listening to the people, of civility, and approachable through many important transitions that were outlined in the State of the District, on June 9th. I will continue to represent all constituents with integrity, vigor and compassion until my term ends.

As I am fond of saying, “This is an 8 day a week job, 24/7.”

What’s next?

Council Member Houston adds, “Time to unclutter my home and look forward to checking off my ABC list - Alaska, Belize and Cuba. Please be assured that I will not become a slacker, I will remain an active, inclusive and civil voice in the City I call home: Austin, Tejas!”
