The group is still hamstrung with millions of dollars in obligations to pay off and maintain the Brownsville Sports Park located across the interstate from Olmito. Even at today's meeting City Engineer Doroteo Garcia brought in invoices totaling $72,000, requesting that the BCIC reimburse the City of Brownsville for Sports Park repairs/improvements.
A Memorandum of Understanding was approved, giving the Parks Department an annual $18,000 stipend for landscape maintenance of the Belden Trail.
Approval for the first cycle of project requests were being discussed as Nena and I had to leave. The projects now have a limit of $5,000 each with two cycles of applications.(This is a change from annual approval of projects with a $10,000 limit.)
This cycle's requests totaled $173,000 with 24 new requests, 11 carried over from last year and two "time sensitive" requests.
Two projects carried over from last year were applied for by Healthy Communities of Brownsville, Inc., a speech about autism and a speech about bullying, each speech costing the taxpayers $5,000.
The board leaned toward denying the $5,000 request from Charro Days, Inc., as they felt the celebration was sufficiently established so as to not need BCIC taxpayer monies. The request from the Brownsville Beer Fest was cut in half to $2,500. The request from the Brownsville Museum of Fine Art for the King Tut Exhibition was denied as substantial BCIC funds have already gone to that exhibition.
"City Engineer Doroteo Garcia"
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the ex husband of fallen JP Erin Garcia? When is the opinion coming in from the Secretary of State, on Ms. Hernandez fake marriage waivers, and isn't her dad, Ernie Hernandez, also going to trial in May for hiring relatives and faking test results for them?? For serious, is there no one qualified who applied for these jobs how much favoritism nepotism involved here

DeleteMy tax dollars should be spent bringing jobs to Brownsville, not mismanaged by this sham group bcic
ReplyDeleteMr. Erin Hernandez, aka Doroteo Garcia makes me want to barf
ReplyDeleteApparently, there is absolutely no independent review, input or qualification if this is the "best" you can hire at COB. May I ask, who is in charge of Human Resources? Any UTB grad could outqualify these retards.
Leo is just another Dumbokratic candidate who can't keep a job and seeks the public tit to make life easier.
ReplyDeleteNo evidence of any leadership, public policy or real work experience.
Jim,
ReplyDeleteHere is a list of people that should be kicked out of office immediately:
1. Da Mayor
2. Rose Gowen & John Villareal
3. Jason Hiltz & Gilbert Salinas
4. Ramiro Gonzalez & his sidekick The McAllen kiddo
5. Rachel Flores
6. Mark Sossi
7. Everyone at United Brownsville
8. Everyone else at BEDC, GBIC and BCIC ( The biggest spendors of our tax dollars)
Elect and hire competent people to replace all of the above and I guarantee you that things will change in Brownsville.
Totally agree BUT we're infested with LOW INFORMATION DUMBOCRATS WHO VOTE FOR THESE BOTTOM FEDERS PARASITES.
