Pecos council weighs sergeant post elimination and pay raise
The Pecos City Council discussed eliminating one sergeant position to fund a $50 monthly pay rise for all 18 police officers without increasing the department budget. The move follows Sgt. Armando Gil's resignation to Reeves County Sheriff's Department and notes deputies receive a $200 car allowance plus about $911 monthly salary. The council also approved resignations of Sgt. Butler Smith and Joseph Ehnot and set Oct 27 for a public hearing on condemning 20 houses.
