By a narrow 4-3 vote, the Killeen City Council voted Tuesday to approve Executive Director of Public Works Danielle Singh as the new assistant city manager.
Voting in favor of Singhâs appointment were Councilmembers Terry Clark, Steve Harris Debbie Nash-King and Ken Wilkerson.
Councilwoman Melissa Brown, Councilman Rick Williams and Councilwoman Shirley Fleming voted against the motion.
Singh will be filling the position that has been vacant since David Ellison retired in late October 2020.
Brown said it is not the councilâs job to approve someoneâs position because they like them and that there has been a breach of trust against the council, which had not been informed of the hire in advance by City Manager Kent Cagle.

The pandemic may be to blame for a surge in a dangerous and deadly drug on Long Island.
The Drug Enforcement Administration says there has been a 214% increase in methamphetamine and 59% rise in fentanyl seized in New York since the pandemic began.
Officials say Long Island has also become a market for fentanyl traffickers. I think a lot of what is fueling this is the desperation - so you re suddenly willing to buy heroin from someone you don t know, you re suddenly willing to try meth because you don t have anything else to turn to and the drug supply has been restricted. And also, people have fewer resources, says Dr. Jeffery Reynolds, of the Family and Children s Association. So people are willing to put anything into their bodies right now in order to escape the everyday realities of life.
