Summary
Mario Tobias, introduced as the City of Alvarado’s new Street Superintendent, said safety is the top priority and promoted the city’s “Fix the Dang Road Program,” saying crews will use both in-house teams and contractors and asking residents for patience during repairs.
Mario Tobias introduced himself as the City of Alvarado’s new Street Superintendent, saying he moved from the City of Grand Prairie and plans to prioritize safety as the city undertakes street repairs. "Safety is number one key in the project," Tobias said, adding that crews wear hardhats, safety glasses and work boots to ensure workers return home safely.
Tobias described his background, noting he worked nine years in Grand Prairie as a Senior Inspector before accepting the role in Alvarado. He said he is "enjoying" his new position and that he is "loving the Fix the Dang Road Program," which he framed as the city’s effort to improve road conditions for residents and the public.
On how the work will proceed, Tobias said the city will pursue repairs both in-house and by hiring contractors so staff can "get to every street that we possibly can." He acknowledged that road work causes inconvenience and asked residents for patience as crews complete repairs: "All I ask for is a little patience to move forward."
Tobias closed by saying he appreciates Alvarado’s growth and looks forward to working with his coworkers and the community as projects continue. He did not specify timelines, budget figures or contractor names in these remarks.
The remarks consisted of an introductory presentation from Tobias; no formal votes or council actions were recorded in the provided transcript.
