Brooks County creates Emergency Management Coordinator post, adds $15,000 for tower duties
Summary
Brooks County Commissioners voted unanimously to create an Emergency Management Coordinator position for Ruben Ramirez with a $40,000 salary and an additional $15,000 for supervising county communications tower operations, effective June 1.
Brooks County Commissioners' Court voted unanimously on June 3 to create an Emergency Management Coordinator position for Ruben Ramirez, setting a base salary of $40,000 and authorizing an additional $15,000 to cover supervision and maintenance of county communications tower operations. Commissioner Horacio Villarreal III moved the measure and Commissioner Martin "Marty" Cabrera seconded; the court approved the motion without dissent.
The court directed the county auditor to create a new line item to accommodate the additional $15,000. The motion included an effective date of June 1. The creation of the position formalizes duties that had previously been handled through contracted services and consolidates Emergency Management Coordinator responsibilities with tower oversight. "This begins effective June 1st," the minutes record, and the auditor was instructed to establish the new budget line for the additional pay.
