FROM: Shana Yelverton, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Appointment of Malcolm Jackson as Director of Community Services
Action Requested: City Council approval of the appointment of Malcolm Jackson as Director of

Background
Information: The Southlake Charter requires that the "The head of each department shall be
a chief, director or superintendent who shall be appointed by the City Manager
subject to the approval of the Council and such chief, director, or
superintendent shall have supervision and control over his department."
Since the appointment of Kevin Hugman as Director of Human Resources,
Malcolm Jackson has been serving as Interim Director of Community Services.
For the past 4 months, he has been responsible for carrying out the day -to -day
business of the department. City Manager Billy Campbell and I both believe
Malcolm has done an excellent job and has completely demonstrated his ability
to perform the duties of director for the department.
