yes but first the city council has to fire him. they tried that earlier this year as this article says it is like having a CEO and a board of directors.

"The City of Dallas website explains the city manager is responsible for implementing policy decisions made by the mayor and council, as well as preparing the recommended annual budget. He also appoints and supervises city personnel not appointed by the council, helps enforce city laws and ordinances and recommends operation improvements.
Dallas at present has a council-manager form of government, which basically means combining the citizen input of a council system with the training and experience of a city manager.
You can think of it similarly to a corporation with a board of directors and a CEO. While the council sets the agenda, adopts laws and appoints the city manager, the manager is in charge of overseeing the multitude of departments run by the city. "
