Change of the guard at City Council Alfaro says goodbye
BAYTOWN The outgoing mayor Pete Alfaro cleared his Baytown office as Calvin Mundinger prepared to take over. Alfaro cited opening doors to all residents as his greatest achievement, noting long-term projects from the Fred Hartman Bridge to Spur 330 and the 2020 plan as notable but not his top pride. He emphasized serving all people and handed over “history” files for Mundinger’s transition.
