The gist
On Nov. 13, Manvel City Council voted unanimously to appoint Dan Johnson to become city manager.
The announcement followed city officials’ extensive monthslong search, which was narrowed down to three finalists in October. Throughout the month, each of the three finalists had the opportunity to interview with both City Council and city staff.
As city manager, Johnson will oversee the day-to-day operations, strategic planning and implementation of policies to further enhance the quality of life for all Manvel residents, according to a news release.
Johnson had served as the interim city manager of Manvel since June. During that time, the city held its first-ever budget town hall and conducted its first-ever citizen survey.
Johnson’s career with the city of Manvel began in 2008 when he first served as the city’s consulting engineer.
