Singh approved; Heights standoff ends with no injuries


Killeen City Council narrowly OKs Danielle Singh as new assistant city manager
By a narrow 4-3 vote, the Killeen City Council voted Tuesday to approve Executive Director of Public Works Danielle Singh as the new assistant city manager.
Voting in favor of Singh’s appointment were Councilmembers Terry Clark, Steve Harris Debbie Nash-King and Ken Wilkerson.
Councilwoman Melissa Brown, Councilman Rick Williams and Councilwoman Shirley Fleming voted against the motion.
Singh will be filling the position that has been vacant since David Ellison retired in late October 2020.
Brown said it is not the council’s job to approve someone’s position because they like them and that there has been a breach of trust against the council, which had not been informed of the hire in advance by City Manager Kent Cagle. ....
