Baca confirmed as acting city manager

March 16, 2010

The Belen City Council last night confirmed Mary Lucy Baca as the city’s acting manager until a permanent city manager can be appointed.

The city council took the action because state law required Baca be confirmed by the council, even though she’s only an interim appointment.

Baca received the full support of the city council, which voted 4-0 to approve her temporary appointment.

The city is expected to request and receive applications from the general public for the city manager’s position, which will be evaluated in the coming weeks, with one name brought to the city council by Mayor Rudy Jaramillo for confirmation by the council.
