Dallas Assistant City Manager Ramon Miguez, the person who oversaw the city's understrength levee system is resigning ASAP.
The Dallas Morning News notes Miguez has been an assistant city manager since 1995, and overseen such big-ticket items as the construction of the Meyerson Symphony Center, the renovation of the Cotton Bowl and the planned modernization of Love Field.
So, the fail-possible levees, and their possibly inadequate sitting for pillars for the Calatrava bridges, can’t be all his fault.
That said, he’s going to HDR, about the biggest private engineering consulting firm for area city governments. Sounds like it’s just bailing out on the Dallas budget crunch. And, the difficulty in finding money to boost the levees to the latest Corps of Engineers standards.
That said, with him gone, he could be a convenient ex post facto dumping ground.
