Eric Garcia removes a fallen tree limb from the roof of a house on Far West Boulevard in Austin, Texas, on Monday, Feb. 6, 2023, after an ice storm last week. The city of Austin’s chief executive is potentially on the chopping block after last week’s winter storm left hundreds of thousands of customers without electricity for days and residents desperate for information about when their power would be restored.
“To all our Austin citizens who are furious about the ongoing power outage, you’re right,” Watson saidIn a statement, Cronk said he respects “the Mayor and Council’s role to ask questions, gather information and consider decisions in the best interest of the City.” Under Austin’s council-manager system, the mayor and City Council appoint a city manager who serves as the city’s chief executive and oversees the city’s day-to-day operations — powers and responsibilities held by mayors in large cities like New York, Chicago and Houston. Cronk manages the city’s 14,000 employees and $4.9 billion budget. City Council members hired Cronk in 2017 after his stint as Minneapolis’ city administrator.
