Council approves hire of Maria Martinez as administrative assistant/IT technician
Summary
Council approved hiring Maria Martinez for an administrative assistant/IT technician role, noting her bilingual skills and a plan for GIS training and certification timelines.
The council approved the recommendation to hire Maria Martinez as an administrative assistant/IT technician. A councilor moved to hire Martinez, noting she was the best fit from the applicant pool and highlighting that she is bilingual: “She is bilingual, and that's 0.5 of the people I get to apply here for grama,” a supporter said during the motion discussion.
