Dallas City Charter Chapter IX, Sec. 1 provides for the selection of a city auditor, who holds office for a period of two years and until a successor shall be chosen and shall qualify, and who is appointed by the city council after being "nominated in accordance with a nomination procedure established by ordinance." Dallas City Code, Chapter 2, ? 2-17.2 outlines the process for nomination, selection, appointment, and reappointment of the city auditor. The appointment of the city auditor does not include a written contract of employment.
In accordance with the Charter, the city auditor holds office for a period of two years and until reappointment or a successor shall be chosen and qualifies. City Auditor Mark Swann's signed offer letter is dated March 27, 2019 and his original appointment date was amended to start May 1, 2019.
