Clarendon City Administrator Brian Barboza will be leaving his post in July after the city council accepted his resignation during a called meeting on May 21.
Barboza has accepted a job with the City of Friona, and his last day in Clarendon will be July 17.
Aldermen met in closed session for about 40 minutes with Barboza and also at times with City Secretary Machiel Covey before returning to open session to accept the administrator’s resignation “with regret.”
The council reviewed the job description of the city administrator, which was approved about 20 years ago and has not been changed. The council took no action on that subject but will be considering it at a future meeting.
Aldermen did approve hiring the Panhandle Regional Planning Commission to help with the search and selection of potential candidates to replace Barboza.
In other city business, the council agreed to temporarily change the hours of the Clarendon Aquatic Center to 4:00 to 8:00 pm Tuesday through Sunday due to a shortage in lifeguards. City officials hope to have the shortage filled soon and be able to resume regular hours from 1:00 to 8:00 pm. Aldermen discussed staffing requirements and asked city officials to find out more information about the requirements for staffing a facility the size of Clarendon’s.
