The election of two new council members and Mayor Christi Fraga in Doral has turned to a shake-up of the city administration as at least two top officials have been asked to resign.
City Manager Hernan M. Organvidez and City Attorney Luis Figueredo both submitted their resignation letters, which will be considered at Wednesday’s council meeting, Fraga’s first. Fraga has already nominated someone to replace him: Barbara “Barbie” Hernandez, the city of Miami’s parks and recreation director, with a proposed salary of $238,442, according to the employment agreement the council will consider.

The city of Doral has a new mayor today after voters on Tuesday chose former Councilwoman and Miami-Dade School Board Member Christi Fraga over Councilwoman Claudia Mariaca, 55% to 45%.
There were also two new council members elected on much narrower margins. Both Rafael Pineyro and Maureen Porras beat opponents Susie Castillo and Ivette Gonzalez Petkovich, 51% to 49% and 52% to 48%, respectively. It was a flip for both. Gonzalez left the first round in August with 43% to Porras 38% and Castillo had a 10-point lead over Pinyero.
