COMMISSIONER PROPOSES ADDING A FOURTH ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER




Incoming City Manager Noel Bernal

Once newly appointed City Manager Noel Bernal is officially employed by the City of Brownsville, he will get a request to add an additional Assistant City Manager.

District 4 City Commissioner Ben Neece sees the need for each of the city's four districts to be represented by an Assistant City Manager.

Currently, Michael Lopez and Art Rodriguez serve as Assistant City Managers, while Pete Gonzalez works as a Deputy Assistant City Manager.

"If I get a call from a citizen in my district requesting brush pickup, I don't have the authority to instruct the brush crew to run over there and handle it," explained District 4 City Commissioner Ben Neece.

"I simply call the City Manager and he deals with the situation in the appropriate way."

Neece feels that, by adding a fourth Assistant City Manager, each district would have supervisory control and things would run more efficiently.

  3. The City doesn't need a 4th Ass't Manager. It needs three. One for Administrative Services (Inside services such as HR, Finance, Library), Public Services (Public Works, Engineering, Planning, Building, Parks, Landfill), and one for Emergency Services (Police, Fire, EMS, Code Enforcement, maybe Health). That's how most cities are run. This proposed plan sounds like the County with their Commissioners who have their own Superintendents. Sorry, bad idea!
