Austin City Council to evaluate employment of City Manager Cronk in wake of ice stormMonday morning, Mayor Kirk Watson said the council will discuss Spencer Cronk's employment status. What do you make of his performance as city manager? I absolutely agree that we need to be discussing the performance of our city manager. In fact, you know what better time than now when we've gone through a crisis, and he's failed to deliver us the basic communication that our city deserves.
Yeah. So my hope is that the audit goes into the entire emergency response related to this most recent disaster and will really help us as a council understand what recommendations the auditor or auditing entity has related to how we could have improved over this process. Some of those answers are already known, like better communication. We could have had much better communication going into this disaster, and instead it was lackluster, and it needed to be much better.
