Killeen may have a new assistant city manager â the cityâs top administrator behind City Manager Kent Cagle â on Tuesday night if the City Council approves the promotion of Executive Director of Public Works Danielle Singh to the spot, which comes with a $175,000 annual salary.

But that could be a big âifâ after some councilmembers told the Herald they were not kept in the loop on the ânationwideâ search for Killeenâs new assistant city manager, which became vacant after the resignation of David Ellison in October.
âAs far as the hiring procedures are concerned, this again lays at the feet of the City Manager,â Killeen City Councilman Ken Wilkerson said in emailed response after the Herald sent questions to the council Friday. âAs far as I am aware, we were never asked about using taxpayer dollars to search for any positions. This may have occurred with the council before I was elected, but I am not aware of it.
