City of Dallas Seeks Community Input on the Next City Manager

The City of Dallas is recruiting for its next City Manager. This position is appointed by, and reports to, the Dallas City Council. Council members are seeking community input and resident feedback on qualifications, characteristics, and opportunities for the next City Manager.  

Residents are asked to participate through two options: (1) a statistically valid survey through ETC Institute and (2) a general questionnaire through Zencity.  

The ETC Institute survey and its administration are standardized, and the results are statistically significant with a limit of 100 responses for each City Council district. Randomly selected residents will be invited to participate in the survey by mail, phone, or online survey in English and Spanish.  

The Zencity questionnaire allows for expanded reach to all Dallas residents and the link will be available in digital formats. To participate in the survey, please use the following link.  

Your voice matters!  Share the leadership qualities you value most in the next City Manager.  Responses are confidential, and we thank you for your participation.
