Dr. Stephenanie Hernandez PHD, Acting City Manager City of Alamogordo asked that we publish a thank you to each staff member of the city of Alamogordo as 2025 closed out and 2026 moves into full scope.
"As we close out 2025, I want to take a moment to thank the employees of the City of Alamogordo.
Our community relies on the dedication of approximately 330 city employees to ensure public safety, deliver critical services, and preserve the quality of life we value. Day after day, these individuals show up with professionalism and purpose, performing work that is essential to the functioning of our city.
Much of this work happens behind the scenes, yet its impact is felt throughout the community. City employees take pride in their work, understanding that consistency, reliability, and attention to detail are what keep Alamogordo moving forward. Whether responding to emergencies, maintaining infrastructure, managing public resources, supporting community programs, or ensuring fiscal and operational accountability, their efforts touch every resident in meaningful ways.
This work is carried out with a strong sense of responsibility, knowing it serves a community of more than 31,000 residents. City employees operate in a highly visible public environment where trust, transparency, and professionalism matter every day.
Having served in city leadership for seven years and stepping into the role of Acting City Manager this past year, continuity and momentum remained a priority. This was not a period of pause or transition. Expectations were high because confidence in the staff was high. Knowing the capability, experience, and professionalism of our employees, I asked a great deal of this team, and they delivered. This was never going to be business as usual, and our workforce rose to that challenge. That collective effort allowed the City to advance critical infrastructure projects, strengthen financial planning and transparency, support economic development, and continue delivering dependable services residents rely upon.
The progress made this year reflects the professionalism, accountability, and dedication of employees serving this community.
Listed below are the City of Alamogordo employees who serve our community each day. If you know a city employee, please take a moment to thank them for their dedication to public service and the important role they play in supporting our community.
I am honored to work alongside such a committed team. On behalf of the City, thank you for your hard work, your perseverance, and your dedication to serving Alamogordo.
