Johnson, who is midway through his first four-year term, said he and the new council should focus on addressing residents’ frustrations with city services while also planning for the future of Dallas. ✕ Advertisement FEATURED ON DALLAS NEWS Sunday’s forecast in Dallas: Flights delayed as DFW gets long awaited rain Dallas received a reprieve from near-constant 90- and 100-degree temperatures beginning Sunday —… FEATURED ON DALLAS NEWS “It’s about working together to solve the common problems of our residents and our businesses and provide them with new opportunities.

(Lola Gomez/The Dallas Morning News via AP)(Lola Gomez) Among issues the new city council will tackle: longstanding concerns over public safety, delays in monthly bulk trash pickup around the city, and the city’s building permitting process. The city also has to address issues with response to emergency and non-emergency calls. The city reports 65% of 911 calls were answered within 10 seconds as of April and 27% of 311 calls answered within 90 seconds. The goal is 75% for 311 calls and 90% for calls to 911 to be answered within those time frames. In recent months, the city council has signed off on new plans to address equity, environmental concerns and climate change, citywide transportation, and economic development with an emphasis on growth and job creation in southern Dallas. There’s also a growing number of residents experiencing homelessness or in danger of losing their homes, highlighting a need for more affordable housing and services to keep new and older homeowners in their homes. The city also has to address gaps in access to parks and internet access for residents, along with its degrading streets and sidewalks. Lingering impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic and February winter storm also remain. hidden ad unit {"unitName":"dfpPosition2","display":"mobile","isMobile":false} Johnson mentioned several of these issues in his speech saying some city officials may have to compromise on issues that are important to them, but they cannot compromise on “making Dallas work for its residents every single day.” Among the first acts of the new council was selecting new leadership on the governing body. Chad West, who represents Bishop Arts and northern Oak Cliff, was selected as mayor pro tem; Resendez was chosen as deputy mayor pro tem. They are the next two highest positions in the absence of the mayor. The inauguration was held at the Meyerson Symphony Center in the Arts District about a mile from City Hall. The event was closed to the public but featured a small crowd of city staff and council members’ immediate relatives. hidden ad unit {"unitName":"teads-article","display":"mobile","isMobile":false} The four outgoing council members — Adam Medrano, Lee Kleinman, Jennifer Staubach Gates and David Blewett — were recognized for their service by Johnson and City Manager T.C. Broadnax before the new council was sworn in. Medrano, Kleinman and Staubach Gates leave the council after hitting the maximum of four consecutive terms. Blewett served one term and was defeated by Ridley in last week’s runoff. The last act of the previous City Council happened about an hour before the inauguration: approving pay raises for Broadnax, City Secretary Bilierae Johnson and City Auditor Mark Swann. The pay bumps would go into effect Oct. 1 if the council approves merit raises for city employees in the next budget. hidden ad unit {"unitName":"dfpPosition_1","display":"mobile","isMobile":false} Bilierae Johnson would receive a 5% increase to her $157,000 base salary, Swann a 4% increase to his $200,000 and Broadnax a 1% increase to his $406,850 base pay. The council plans to re-evaluate his performance and pay in six months. Broadnax is Dallas’ highest-paid and highest-ranking city administrative official. Before the new council chose the city’s new mayor pro tem and deputy mayor pro tem, they approved reducing the terms to be served for one year instead of two. South Dallas’ District 7 Council Member Adam Bazaldua, who proposed the change, and Far North Dallas’ District 12 representative Cara Mendelsohn said it would promote more opportunities for leadership and was more inclusive. hidden ad unit {"unitName":"dfpPosition_2","display":"mobile","isMobile":false} The Dallas council has long had an unwritten rule that the mayor, mayor pro tem and deputy mayor pro tem roles include one white person, one Black person and one Latino person. The tradition appears to have been in place since at least the mayoral administration of Ron Kirk in the mid-1990s and early 2000s. The council also has caucuses along the same racial lines that can be problematic for biracial officials, Bazaldua and Mendelsohn said. Though the tradition was initially meant to ensure Black and Latino voices were heard after traditionally not having that representation, today it doesn’t account for other voices that need representation along gender and sexual identity, religion and other demographics. The governing body can consider making it an official council rule in the future. “Now we’ve got to evolve with the time we are in,” Bazaldua said. hidden ad unit {"unitName":"dfpPosition_3","display":"mobile","isMobile":false} West is white and Resendez is Latino. Council member Carolyn King Arnold, District 4′s representative in southern Oak Cliff, said she couldn’t recall another Black woman being selected for one of the two positions since Diane Ragsdale was on the council in the 80s and early 90s. She also said there “is a severe lack of respect for women at City Hall.” Council member Omar Narvaez in West Dallas’ District 6, noted the city has never elected a Latino mayor nor an Asian- or Native American council member. Both were among five council members who voted against the proposal to reduce the terms to one year. Narvaez said he was blindsided by the proposal and that he didn’t want to be “sit in a seat for a year as a participation trophy because I check enough boxes.” King Arnold said she didn’t want the idea to be binding to future councils.
