Department heads briefed the Board of Trustees on Jan. 12. Marshal Ben Azcarate provided an update for the Marshal’s office; Fire Chief Greg Whited gave a fire-department report. Public Works Director Lorenzo Astorga and Economic & Community Development Director Eddie Salazar offered updates on their respective departments. Trustees asked questions and commented following each report.
Mayor Hernandez reviewed a Public Safety Clerk job description during the meeting; Trustees Veronica Garcia, Mayor Pro Tem Stephanie Johnson-Burick and Trustee Biviana Cadena commented on the job description. No formal hiring action or motion to fill the position was recorded in the minutes.
Why it matters: Regular departmental reports inform trustees about public-safety readiness, public-works priorities and economic-development activities that can affect town operations, budgets and service delivery. The meeting record shows reporting and trustee feedback but does not provide verbatim statements of the department updates in the transcript.
The board adjourned at 8:35 p.m.
