Dallas could be looking for a new City Manager soon.

Dallas' mayor and City Council members have requested a meeting to discuss "performance of the City Manager including discipline or removal."

Councilmembers Cara Mendelsohn, Paula Blackmon, and Gay Willis submitted the request to the city secretary. Mayor Eric Johnson also requested an executive session.

In a statement, Johnson said: "I believe it is time for a change in city management."

Broadnax began his tenure in Dallas in February 2017 after the council voted to hire him. Before that, Broadnax served in the same role in Tacoma, Washington.

City manager TC Broadnax has released a statement saying:

"Periodic performance review is critical to me and all City employees to demonstrate progress and ensure transparency for our residents, taxpayers, and stakeholders. I am proud of the hard work which has led to accomplishment of many goals related to the City Council’s eight strategic priorities and look forward to sharing the R.E.A.L. impact we continue to make to improve the lives of Dallas residents in ways that are responsible, equitable, accountable, and legitimate, together as One Dallas."
