El Paso city manager finalist for similar position in Frisco, Texas

- Start date
Jerry and the Jones family will never allow that to happen.
I heard he’s a straight up arrogant Ahole, this from people that have worked with him.
They’ve blocked an SA team for ages. It’s hilarious to think Jerry wouldn’t move mountains to stop another Dallas team.
This cm is the best administrator EP has had in the 35 years I've been here. Arrogant or not. He's put ep in a great financial position. No more pobrecito mentality. We could use more like him.
Uh, no.
He’s a taxer and spender.
He blew the arena deal.
His contract allows side gigs even though he makes boatloads of $$$.
I did not realize there was a transfer portal for City Managers.
City manager doesn't set the tax rate. That is done by all 7 or 8 taxing entities within the county including but not limited to mayor and council, county commish, Texas tech med, school districts etc.
I’m talking about all the bonds/debt/non-voter approved certificates of obligation.

Given that the post has existed for fewer than 20 years, and that there have been a total of two, that's not as impressive as you make it sound.
He has the same salary as Joe Biden. Apparently he makes more than the city managers of Austin, Fort Worth, and Arlington.
Maybe he'd have to take a pay cut if he goes to Frisco?
We still had administrators before then. The CM position is relatively new. If you look at what the City's budget process was 10 years ago and before as opposed to what it is now, you wouldn't want to go back. If you take an objective look at what he's accomplished you'd be impressed. And that's all i'm saying on the subject. Where's our latest recruits.
I have seen that headline floating around social media. I am not going to say it’s clickbait but I don’t feel it is exactly accurate. TG would be able to sell back unused sick and vacation leave. 6 months of each. So he would be able to sell back a year’s salary. That’s roughly 400K. I’m not sure where the 1 million figure is coming from.
WATCH: It is not the right time Mayor says about his veto of city manager's contract extension
EL PASO, Texas – El Paso Mayor Oscar Leeser has veteod a council vote to extend the city manager's contract, saying the decision was "neither prudent nor warranted." City Council held a special meeting Monday that extended Gonzalez's contract through 2029 and offered other perks in a 5-3 vote...
My city rep says she voted to extend him in part because he eliminated $27 million in operating deficit in the mass transit dept and $1 million operating deficit at the city golf course. It must have taken a lot of skill to make those decisions during COVID.WATCH: It is not the right time Mayor says about his veto of city manager's contract extension

Never forget. And we still hired him. Or rather I should say that he was brought in specifically for this reason because the powers that run the city knew that he could be bought. https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/l...led-against-irving-city-manager/287-306239864
