No Comments on The Hill Country Podcast – Kerrville City Manager Dalton Rice

Dalton Rice is a seasoned professional with a diverse background spanning the military, healthcare administration, and public administration. As the current City Manager of Kerrville, Texas, Rice offers a unique perspective on the role and responsibilities of a city manager in Texas. He views the city manager as the chief executive officer of a city, responsible for overseeing all departments and appointed by the city council, a contrast to a mayoral system where the mayor is elected as the CEO. Rice’s experiences in the military and public sectors have shaped his understanding of the importance of navigating the political landscape, maintaining neutrality, and fostering open dialogue with city residents. Join Tom Fox, Andrew Gay, and Dalton Rice as they delve deeper into this topic on the next episode of the Hill Country Podcast.
