Hello my fellow Cueroites, Mr. Danny Rocha Jr. was given a retirement ceremony and a watch for his faithful service to the citizens of Cuero on January 23rd. Although a joyous occasion for the retiree, unfortunately the city loses experienced and highly skilled individuals. Mr. Rocha was a heavy equipment operator (backhoe), which takes years to master.
The City of Cuero was granted a $ 10,000 grant for the purchase and installment of three more license plate readers on major highways with access to the Cuero city limits. This equipment aids the Cuero Police department in monitoring vehicles coming into or leaving the city limits. If the license plate is in the readers database as stolen, amber/silver alert etc., the officers get alerted in real time.
January 28th saw the first meeting of the Mayors Youth Council in 2025. I am so proud of the Youth Council. We discussed upcoming community volunteer opportunities and Council shirts were distributed and a group photo taken. On January 29th, I spoke at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon on the 'State of Cuero.”’ I highlighted major city events in 2024 and upcoming events for 2025. Wayne Berger, Cuero City Manager, highlighted major past, ongoing and projected city projects.
