On Monday, June 14 the Pedernales Electric Cooperative Board of Directors voted to terminate the contract of General Manager Juan Garza. Garza will vacate his position at the end of the month, and the Board intends to hire a firm to conduct a national search for a new general manager, a process which could take between six and nine months. The board is considering the matter of an interim general manager.
“It is safe to say that anytime an action like this is taken, it is an indication that the Board and general manager are not in sync and are going in different directions,” said Board President Larry Landaker of the Board’s decision. “It is the sense of the Board that the general manager needs to be on the same page as the Board and going in the same direction.”
PEC hired Garza as general manager in 2008 and he took the position on a platform of reform and accountability after his predecessor, Bennie Fuelberg, resigned amid felony charges of theft and money laundering.
