This is your weekly update, which takes a quick look at the week ahead and some developments that El Paso Matters is following. City Manager Search on Pause: The El Paso City Council on Tuesday deleted an agenda item that asked the city’s Human Resources Department to conduct the city manager search and open it only to applicants living within the city limits. It was not clear when the council will again discuss the search process, or if it would be a local or national search. The council has twice passed on hiring Baker Tilly US LLP, a public accounting and consulting firm headquartered in Chicago, to conduct the search. The city has been without a permanent city manager since the council fired Tommy Gonzalez in February 2023. Cary Westin has been serving as interim, but has told the mayor that he does not want the job permanently.
