City of Roma City Manager Alex Barrera was awarded the Tyler Technology Excellence Award at the national CONNECT Conference held in Indianapolis,

Indiana. The national award is given to individuals who utilize software “to save time and money, make more informed decisions, and streamline processes to optimize operations.” Mr. Barrera upgraded the City’s accounting software to a cloud version that allowed for him to export data and create dashboards to analyze revenue and expenses, identify trends, drill into discrepancies, and share necessary budget information across departments. For small municipalities with limited budgets, any cost savings can deliver real value to the community and the people they serve. The process to identify cost

savings, however, can too often be a tedious, time-consuming task. A process that previously took hours now takes only minutes thanks in large part to Mr. Barrera’s creativity and innovation. “We are extremely proud of Alex’s work as City Manager. His insight into the City’s financial allows the City Council to make decisions that provide the best possible services at the lowest possible cost to our taxpayers.” said Mayor Jaime Escobar, Jr. Mr. Barrera’s efforts earned him an all-expense paid trip to the national Tyler CONNECT Conference where he was recognized in front of technology leaders from around the country.

Mr. Ariel Ozuna, GHS Principal, the GHS administration, and staff, would like to congratulate recent Grulla High School Graduate, Onesimo Quiroz, IV, for enlisting with United State Air Force. He is the son of Onesimo and Maira Quiroz. The Gator Family are extremely proud that Onesimo will be serving our country and wishes him the best of luck in all his future endeavors.
