Eagle Pass City Manager Arturo B. Rodriguez To Be Evaluated By City Council

The City of Eagle Pass, Texas City Council has posted a special public meeting agenda to be held on Thursday, December 28, 2017, at 11 A.M. at City Hall, 100 South Monroe Street, Eagle Pass, Texas with both an Executive Session and Open Session agenda item regarding consultation with Legal Counsel on the discussion of personnel, specifically a follow-up evaluation of City Manager, Arturo B. Rodriguez, based on three month extension of probationary period.

According to the December 28th Special Meeting Agenda, the City Council may take action, including any type of disciplinary action available to the Council including, but not limited to, a determination for leave of absence, suspension, demotion, termination and/or acceptance of resignation and/or no action in Open Session after the Executive Session.

City Manager Arturo B. Rodriguez was selected by the Eagle Pass City Council on January 3, 2017 to replace former Interim City Manager Roberto Gonzalez after former City Manager Hector Chavez was indicted and pleaded guilty to lying to FBI Agents in a federal investigation.  Rodriguez first day at work in Eagle Pass was on February 1, 2017 and has been on the job since that date. 

Rodriguez was evaluated earlier this year by the Eagle Pass City Council and the Council approved a three month additional probationary period so that Rodriguez could have more time to address pending City projects and issues raised during the evaluation.  

The three month additional probationary period expired and City Council will now evaluate City Manager Rodriguez’s performance during his first 11 months on the job at the December 28th Special City Council Meeting at 11 A.M. at City Hall and possibly take action in Open Session following their Executive Session consultation with Legal Counsel and Rodriguez.
