Richmond Mayor Dwight C. Jones announced tonight Byron C. Marshall as his choice for the city's chief administrative officer.
Jones cited Marshall's management experience with larger cities, including Atlanta and Austin, Texas, as well as his work to strengthen neighborhoods. Marshall is president and chief executive officer of the nonprofit Austin Revitalization Authority.
"Byron had the experience that we had been looking for," Jones said.
The City Council will hold a special meeting July 1 to hold a public hearing and vote to confirm the appointment.
"That's the start of the fiscal year. We'd like to hit the ground running," City Council President Kathy C. Graziano said.
The appointment would normally be sent to committee, but Graziano said doing that would not allow the council to vote until July 13. If approved, Marshall is expected to work full time beginning Aug. 1.
His salary would be $175,000 per year.
