The Fort Stockton City Council unanimously approved a change to Convention and Visitor’s Bureau Board by-laws on March 14 at the group’s regular meeting.

The city council approved the resignation CVB board members of Jordan Gonzales and Heather Noah at the meeting and as a result, the board will now consist of nine people instead of 11.

The board was previously at seven people in years past but grew to 11 people after the Fort Stockton Downtown Association officially dissolved last year.

Gonzales and Noah left the board due to obligations and conflicts with their schedules according to city manager Frank Rodriguez.

“What it was, those two members had conflict of schedules. It was hard for them to make the meetings at those times and those dates. They didn’t want to do it (leave the board) but at the same time they didn’t want to hold anything up. It was hard to make quorum.”

The quorum number for the group will move to five with the drop in board members.

City lays out roadwork plans

The Street Maintenance Department for the City of Fort Stockton presented their street project plans for this upcoming summer at the city council meeting on Monday.

Interim Streets Supervisor Aaron Manzano presented a video slideshow that gave insight into the plans and Public Works Director Luis Guerra aided by answering questions the council presented.

“I would like for the Public Works Director and the Interim Street Supervisor to receive the credit for putting this street plan together. These men worked hard in coming up with the streets to rehab. Our goal is to complete these streets, but a lot of it will depend on the weather,” Rodriguez said.

Manzano noted at Monday’s meeting that the street’s department is hoping to begin work by the end of April.

Listed are the streets that will have work done to them over the next 5-7 months.
