The Eagle Pass City Council confirmed the re-appointment of Jose C. Rodriguez to the City of Eagle Pass Water Works System Board of Trustees at their regular meeting held on Tuesday, August 4, 2015 upon the recommendation of Eagle Pass Water Works System General Manager Jorge Barrera.

During the meeting, Eagle Pass Mayor Ramsey English Cantu brought up Agenda Item No. 24 calling for a possible consideration and confirmation of the appointment of a Member to the Eagle Pass Water Works System Board of Trustees.

Eagle Pass Water Works General Manager Jorge Barrera addressed City Council and stated that it was their recommendation to appoint Mr. Jose C. Rodriguez to another four year term as part of the Eagle Pass Water Works System Board of Trustees.

“His term expired in June and it is up for appointment for another four years, this will be Mr. Rodriguez’s last four years. Then we will have to name somebody else,” said Barrera to City Council. Barrera referred to the fact that the Eagle Pass Water Works System Board of Trustees have a term limit of two terms of four years each for their Trustees.

Mayor Cantu then called for a motion of confirmation and Councilwoman Gloria E. Hernandez so motioned and seconded by Mayor Pro-Tem Rudy Villalpando.

Mayor Cantu asked for clarification on term limits for the EPWWS Board of Trustees.

“It is set for two, four year terms and then they cannot serve anymore,” said legal counsel Heriberto Morales of Langley & Banack.

City Council unanimously approved the confirmation of Mr. Jose C. Rodriguez’s appointment to the EPWWS Board of Trustees for a second four year term.
