Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia will be Austin’s next assistant city manager, after being appointed by City Manager T.C. Broadnax to head the city’s public safety departments. Garcia’s move comes after considerable effort on the city of Dallas’ part to retain Garcia, including offering a biannual $10,000 retention bonus that Dallas’ interim City Manager Kimberly Tolbert penned in May. Broadnax confirmed the appointment in a statement to KUT on Thursday.
