City's emergency management coordinator Billy Delgado's retirement commemorated at council

Whether it was a natural disaster or a pandemic, Delgado and his team helped the city navigate through it, said mayor Paulette Guajardo.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Corpus Christi City Council announced the retirement of longtime emergency management coordinator Billy Delgado during Tuesday's regularly scheduled meeting. 

He has served in that role for the last 14 years.

There he engaged and coordinated with multiple departments both on the local and state level.

Whether it was a natural disaster or a pandemic, Delgado and his team helped the city navigate through it.

"When everything is going great it’s going great,” said Corpus Christi Mayor Paulette Guajardo. “But when we have weather events and pandemics and freezes. . . Billy is at the helm and he is very behind-the-scenes -- that very-much-the-coordinator-of-everything. You can only imagine -- or can you? -- what it really takes behind the scenes."
