Word hes reached us that Cameron County Administrator Pete Sepulveda has emailed commissioners his intention to resign and join the Cameron County Regional Mobility Authority full time.
It is unknown what time frame Sepulveda gave commissioners for his departure.
However, it appears that some of the members of the court are asking that he stay on the job pending the completion of several projects now on the drawing boards such as the West Rail Relocation, SH 550, the FM 511 Tollroad, and the second causeway to South Padre Island.
We have been trying to obtain Sepulveda's email sent to the court where he indicates his wish to resign from the county. However, some commissioners have told us that they would prefer to speak with Sepulveda about his plans before releasing the email or making any comments.
Some indicated that they were concerned that projects currently underway might be affected by Sepulveda's sudden departure and hoped that arrangements could be made to assure their completion.
Sepulveda is currently working as county administrator in overall charge of numerous departments including all non-elected County Departments including: Building Maintenance, Copy Center , Health, Human Resources, Parks, Planning and Development and Transportation.
Since it is not humanly possible to oversee all these different departments, he has an adminisitrative assistant in David Garcia.
The employment status of the county administrator has been the object of confusion. Although he is listed as the county's full-time administrator, he is also the executive director of the CCRMA.
In February 2013, the CCRMA announced that Sepulveda would take the helm of the Authority at an annual salary of $225,000. So far, that transition period has extended for more than a year going on two.
Sepulveda has been the CCRMA's administrator since 2004 when Cameron County Commissioners Court moved to establish it. He has been receiving money from both the county and CCRMA.He has been receiving money from both the county and CCRMA. Sepulveda receives a yearly salary of $141,000 from Cameron County plus an annual stipend of $75,000 from the CCRMA for a total of $216,000 a year.
His assistant Garcia was also receiving a $75,000 stipend from the Authority until the commissioners drafted an agreement with the authority that it pay the county for the time Garcia spent on CCRMA business.
One commissioner said the court's members wanted to get together with Sepulveda to initiate a search for his replacement as soon as possible.

juan, Jim barton is going around town saying he has more "hits" than you on your blog. I heard him. Is it true or is he again acting stupid?
It's about time he resigns as county admin. He has been working full time for the CCRMA for years. This opens the door for a really qualified person to administer this county 100% of the time. County Commission should clean house now.
juan oh wow, the sky is falling, Cameron county will no longer exist, its going to shut down because pistol pete is leaving, how sad? bah humbug time for him to go back to pharr or hidalgo county where he is from that putz. good riddance
Sylvia Perez Garza should be hired to replace him. Her skills are better suited for this position....not County Clerk.
Trust this guy about as far as I can throw him.
David Garcia can handle the job if he does go. David is the one running the county and RMA, so nothing will be missed. Garcia has better people skills and the elected officials respect him.
I hope they hire someone outside of the compadre cesspool.
David Garcia is a PUTZ! He is also a whoremonger!
So, who is Pete Sepulveda related to that he was paid so much for doing nothing? Or what political party does he belong to? Or is he going to be found out that he did something wrong?
Isn't their something about having two full time jobs at the same time. Or how did the county find a loop hole. Juan, something smells, here,.
Her skills are vote harvesting from the elderly....hardly a qualified individual.
No e's cierto!!!!!
I can't believe this knucklehead is making $216,000. Blows my mind!
You're acting stupid! Who cares? Grow up!
Is this the Pinche Silvia la Rats who steals votes from the poor and elderly to elect, Tony, Ernie, Otis, Joe Erin, Minerva and Chirinos? Pura puts, what a whore????
A quien se estabaa echando?
Good Riddance !! Hasta La Vista ! The tax- payers were saved Big Bucks .
Ccrma and Cameron county is the same employer just different departments.... He gets one check and is county ..... Tax payers the county asked the state for monies ... The county created CCRMA with the funds but eventually the state is going to want those funds ... And u know who's going to pay them us the tax payers....
