ALBUQUERQUE’S ANIMAL WELFARE DEPARTMENT HAS ANOTHER NEW LEADER. THAT’S AFTER JOHN SOLADAY, WHO ASSUMED THE JOB WHEN PAUL CASTER QUIT THE JOB AFTER ONLY THREE MONTHS THERE.
SOLADAY WAS EXPECTED TO RESIGN BECAUSE HE WAS NAMED INTERIM DIRECTOR OF ANIMAL WELFARE. NOW THE ACTING DIRECTOR IS DANNY NEVAREZ, WHO WILL BE IN THE POSITION UNTIL THE CITY HIRES A PERMANENT DIRECTOR.
NEVAREZ IS ALSO ACTING DIRECTOR OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT. THE ABQ JOURNAL REPORTS THE ANIMAL WELFARE DEPARTMENT HAS A 38 PERCENT VACANCY RATE.
