Applicant Gina highlights community engagement and operations during town manager interview
Summary
Candidate Gina, who currently works with PPRBD and holds a master's in business management, emphasized public messaging, event coordination and learning the town’s finance functions if selected as interim town manager.
Candidate Gina described a background that includes legal work, a paralegal role in Nevada and current duties overseeing boards and CAM operations. She told trustees she would focus on assisting with the budget, public messaging and event support: "As town interim town manager, I'll assist in accomplishing town goals, find the balance, to make you guys moving the town forward," she said.
Gina acknowledged gaps in her finance experience and said she would learn and rely on staff subject‑matter expertise. Trustees asked about cross‑county residents (El Paso vs Teller) and revenue; town legal counsel said the town collects revenues from within its boundaries regardless of county lines and that election and voter list logistics require coordination with both counties. Gina framed the interim role as a mix of operational duties, event support and community outreach.
Trustees raised questions about immediate ability to supervise and whether the candidate could handle finance oversight; Gina said she saw budgeting as a learning area and cited past work saving $7,000 in catering by attention to costs in her current role.
