City of El Paso claims $1M in budget savings by having fewer department heads
EL PASO, Texas More than $1 million have been freed up after El Paso city leaders decided to consolidate several department head positions. City officials have faced a steep budgetary challenge with the outbreak of Covid-19.
“We were able to condense several positions into one and we were able to save $1.1 million dollars. We’ve really felt like we needed to do that in order to tighten our belts at the senior level,” City Manager Tommy Gonzalez said.
The move comes months after the city announced it would be Furloughing staff to deal with the budget restrictions. City officials initially reported furloughing hundreds of positions. However, the bulk of those were temporary contracts.

The Department had to put curbside recycling on hold in November because COVID-19 was causing a lot of employees to have to stay home but also because residents weren’t recycling properly.
Environmental Services officials say people were being all kinds of cochinos and putting the wrong things in the blue bin or not rinsing food items off recyclables. Add that to people putting recyclables in plastic bags and putting regular trash into the blue bin which is also not allowed and that caused a lot of problems with the recycling machines.
