(Calexico City Council discusses City Manager Position)...The position has been vacant for 8 months.

The City has been operating with an Interim City Manager since Esperanza Colio Warren left the position. Thee majority of the council agreed they were not attracting enough candidates for the position because the salary they were offering was not competitive. They agreed, on a 4-1 vote, to increase the salary for the position to $220,000 from the former $181,000. They said that makes the position competitive with other city's in the county. Councilman Lorenzo Calderon was the sole no vote. He said he was concerned with the city's financial situation and the lack of updated financial reports.
