Counting his time on the Dallas Park and Recreation Board, Lee Kleinman has been serving constituents in District 11 for nearly 13 years — and while his tenure on the city council ended in June, he’s not quite ready to retire.
“I think short term, the plan is some well-deserved downtime,” he said just before the June 5 runoff election, where Jaynie Schultz prevailed over Barry Wernick to become Kleinman’s successor. “I’ve kind of still got 10 years of work left in me. All my career opportunities are clearly in Dallas and not anywhere else. So despite the fact that much has been made about the fact that I’ve got a vacation home in Colorado, I’m not moving out there — as much as I would like to.”
This last term of yours has had some significant things that have happened to the city Before his tenure as a Dallas city councilman came to an end, Lee Kleinman joined other city leaders, state dignitaries, and residents to celebrate the groundbreaking of the Northaven
Trail Bridge that will cross U.S. 75. (PHOTO: CHRIS MCGATHEY)
and your district — a tornado, a pandemic. What is it like to have to kind of shepherd your district through twin disasters within a year of each other?
It definitely had its challenges, especially with the pandemic — we’re operating from home and didn’t have the opportunity to go out and have community meetings and, you know, give someone a hug because their house just got wrecked. When the tornado (in 2019) went through, we went to all the neighborhoods. I talked to people and just tried to give assistance where I could — a lot of it was moral support. But when the pandemic hit, that kind of one-on-one contact really got shut down, and that was really hard, because that’s a big part of how I like to engage with the district.
What are some of the biggest misconceptions about D11?
I think one of the biggest misconceptions is that it’s such a suburban district and dominated by single-family homes. And in reality, half the district is rental apartments. And generally, when those apartments were built, they were built anywhere from 40 to 60 years ago. So we have a lot of aging apartment stock that needs to be addressed in the city and in the district.
Jennifer Gates talked about how so many projects are about having to be OK with the fact that you may not be the one that sees it all the way through to the end — you’re probably going to hand it off.
Oh, but you pick it up from somebody else also. And that’s what I’ve frequently said to incoming council members, as well as even people that sit on our boards of commissions — “Pick it up where it is and get it across the goal line and take credit for it because, you know, your predecessor did that, and your successors will do that.”
