Special to El Rrun-Rrun
It was hailed as a Year In Review for local media, but except for a blogger and a few city administrators there were few takers.
A few television stations attended. And the most-read bloggers in social media did not make a cameo appearance.
Those who attended were treated to a box lunch with a bag of chips and a warmed over review of projects that had been presented twice before, at Mayor Trey Mendez's State of the City and by City Manager Noel Bernal at a Chamber of Commerce presentation a few weeks ago.
Both were present at the "dinner."
That led one local blogger to ask "Where is the beef?"
It appeared that the main purpose of the meet was to introduce new Communications and Marketing Director Felipe Gabriel Romero III.
Romero most recently served as Contract Relations Coordinator for the Austin Independent School District.
According to a release, he has over 14 years of communications, media, marketing and community engagement in both the public and private sectors.
The city announced their interactive BTX Future website during the meeting. The site features the accomplishments of 2019 and the plans for 2020.
After the presentation during a question and answer session, there were only three questions.
