Dallas Mayor Eric L. Johnson announces Kimberly Bizor Tolbert as new city manager

DALLAS — Dallas Mayor Eric L. Johnson announced on Wednesday, January 22, that the Dallas City Council has officially appointed Interim City Manager Kimberly Bizor Tolbert to the position of city manager.

“I am proud to support Kimberly Bizor Tolbert as Dallas’ new city manager,” said Mayor Eric L. Johnson. “As Interim City Manager, Tolbert has streamlined city operations, improved government efficiency, reduced taxpayer waste, and delivered a budget with the largest single-year property tax rate reduction in Dallas history.”

“With Tolbert now serving in a permanent role, Dallas is poised to take full advantage of the opportunities before us as we continue to reduce the tax rate, enhance government efficiency and transparency, and keep the people of Dallas safe. Now, Dallas can take the next steps toward hiring permanent police and fire chiefs to strengthen our standing as the safest major city in America.”

“Lastly, I want to thank Mayor Pro Tem Tennell Atkins for his leadership in guiding the selection process as chair of the Ad Hoc Committee on Administrative Affairs,” added Mayor Johnson.
