Gonzales introduces new finance manager Alex Avalos; manager cites state audit and budget background
Summary
Alex Avalos, hired four weeks ago as Gonzales's finance manager, told the council he previously worked as a fiscal analyst for the California Department of Public Health and as a budget analyst for Cal Fire and plans to apply that experience to city finance systems.
The Gonzales City Council on Aug. 3 formally introduced Alex Avalos as the city's new finance manager.
At the meeting Avalos said he began the position four weeks ago and described his background in economics and political science and prior work at the California Department of Public Health as a fiscal analyst focusing on audits and at Cal Fire as a budget analyst on the statewide budget. “I began my position 4 weeks ago,” Avalos said.
Council members welcomed Avalos and said having an in-house finance manager should help the city set up new systems and better manage finance work after a long recruitment. Avalos said he will apply his state experience to local finance matters and looks forward to working with the council and staff.
