Webb County: no qualified applicants yet for utilities director; wage and classification review ordered
Summary
Human Resources reported seven applicants for the executive director of utility systems but said none currently meet required qualifications; commissioners sent the utilities-director job to the Classification/Wage Committee for review and asked HR to benchmark pay and licensing requirements against nearby jurisdictions.
Monica Flores (Human Resources) told the court that the utilities-director posting, open since September 2024, produced seven applications but "none of them qualify at this point based on the requirements we have at this time." Flores and commissioners discussed whether the county should relax certain licensing requirements for the director-level position (Class C licenses are more commonly required for plant operators rather than directors) and whether increasing salary would attract qualified candidates.
Commissioners directed HR to send the utilities-director position and the capital-projects infrastructure position to the Classification/Wage Committee to review qualifications and pay. Flores said the capital-projects posting has two applicants who meet minimum qualifications; commissioners asked HR to gather compensation comparisons from nearby cities before the committee meeting.
