Within a week of Saenz’s inauguration, Carlos Roberto Villarreal (born 1946) who has been the city manager since 2007, Laredo City Manager since 2007 announced his immediate resignation during negotiations on a contract led by the four city council’s eight members. The salary of his position was set for 2013 at $230,000 per year. The city’s deputy manager Cynthia Collazo will take over Villarreal’s responsibilities until the selection for an interim city administrator. The city council then has to select an permanent successor. Villarreal announced in his announcement of his departurethat “You know you can’t be here forever. I was the longest-tenured city manager here in the city of Laredo.” Saenz has stated that he wants an interim city manager to be selected through an extensive selection process. Saenz is looking for someone who is willing to stay in the job for at minimum eight years. Villarreal was awarded a substantial pay package after his departure, totalling $603,503, including 18 months of pay as well as unused annual or sick leaves. The council appointed the assistant city manager Jose “Chuy” Olivares, as the interim city manager.

Laredo resident Mario Ortiz disputes Saenz’s account of the Villarreal retirement. In a letter to the Laredo Morning Times, Ortiz noted that the city could have delayed action until April 2015 when Villarreal’s contract came up for review. This would have reduced taxpayer liability in the payout. Ortiz also said that Saenz could have vetoed the retirement buyout, particularly since four council member had voted in April 2014 to give Villarreal a $40,000 annual raise. “Mayor Saenz is not off to a good start,” concluded Ortiz. After conducting number of interviews of interested applicants, the city council decided to elevate assistant city manager Jesus “Chuy” Olivares (born c. 1958) to the manager’s position. Olivares is a former city manager in Eagle Pass, Texas. At the time of the decision, there was no District 7 representation on the council.
