David L. Fuentes

Sheriff's Deputy Compensation

The proposed raises would require significant budget adjustments.

fraud and government oversight

The county lost over $253,000 of public money on a scam, which means fewer resources for the actual programs that need it.

Poll Worker Compensation

The increase will cost the county approximately $340,000 per election cycle.

police leadership

Recruiting and vetting a new police chief could pull some funds from the city budget for headhunters and relocation costs.

police chief retirement

The city might have to shell out cash for a nationwide executive search firm and potentially a competitive salary package to land a new chief.

election integrity

Taxpayers will likely foot the bill for the legal fees and the cost of holding a brand-new election.

economic development

This project is expected to pump new tax revenue into the city while creating a steady stream of local employment opportunities.

Public Street Lighting in Colonia La Joma Trails

The cost of the installation was not specified during the meeting.

Elder Abuse Awareness

The program has already recovered $50,000 in 2025.

emergency management

Expect to see a massive spike in tax dollars diverted toward emergency repairs and long-term flood mitigation projects.

agricultural infrastructure

The delay could lead to massive losses for our local ranchers if the screwworm population isn't contained quickly.

election results

These results determine how your tax dollars are prioritized and spent by the new local leadership.

water resource management

You might see higher water bills if conservation tiers are adjusted or if the city invests in new infrastructure to manage the supply.

commercial development

You'll likely see a boost in local tax revenue, but keep an eye out for potential costs related to road repairs and traffic management.

historic preservation

This status unlocks new federal grant money and tax breaks that take the financial pressure off local taxpayers when it comes to restoring old buildings.
