Mayor and City Council

Mission Statement: “The Mission of the City of Fort Stockton Municipal Government is to

Promote & Value Public Confidence and Trust by the Accountable and Responsible Use of

Community Resources; to Ensure Public Safety; Improve Public Services; Promote Local

Recreation and Entertainment; and Generate Economic Development.

A Message From

Councilman Mike Ureta:

All to often individuals become embroiled in politics and lose

sight of something far more im-portant, public service. As city

officials and employees we should have an instinct for public service and know it is not always about the bottom line, but rather

what is best for the people. I commend all city officials and employees for the service they pro-vide, particularly those who place public service above politics. A public servant must be honest,

tell the truth and always do what he/she says they are going to do.

Meet our Parks and Cemetery

Departments

The parks and cemetery departments strive to

maintain and improve the cemetery and parks of

the city. The parks department makes its best

effort to provide diverse leisure opportunities

for the community by providing safe, well-

maintained, clean parks and public places while

enhancing a healthy lifestyle. The cemetery de-

partment makes every effort to offer a welcom-

ing site to bereaved families by maintaining the

grounds of the cemetery. Marcos Tovar, Parks

and Cemetery Foreman, has been with the City

of Fort Stockton for 3 1/2 years. The parks and

cemetery department consists of 7 total em-

ployees.
