FORMER CITY MANAGER
JOHN WARE HAS DIED
It is with deep sadness that I report former City Manager John Ware has passed away. On behalf of the entire City Council and the City of Dallas – words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel. John Ware was a man of commitment and passion. He was a life-long public servant and a wonderful role model and friend.
Mr. Ware was City Manager from 1993-1998. Dur-
ing his tenure he initiated several ventures which created over $7 billion in public/private business partnerships with several of the nation’s leading financial institutions (Bank of America, J. P. Mor- gan Chase, Bank One, etc.) including two financial commitments totaling $4 billion with Fannie Mae, and a $1.5 billion commitment with Freddie Mac.
Mr. Ware spent nearly 24 years in municipal man-
agement. His expertise included the establish- ment, coordination and financing of multi-billion dollar investments in central-city districts, and he also managed or coordinated more than $3.0 bil- lion in municipal financing transactions. Under Mr. Ware’s leadership, Dallas was cited by Financial World as one of the best managed cities in the U.S.
Mr. Ware received his BA from Ouachita Baptist
University, and MPA from the Maxwell School at Syracuse University.
He was famous for telling City employees that
they had one goal and mission: To serve the citi- zens of Dallas.
