67
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:01,959
with those changes mentioned
do we have and

68
00:17:06,319 --> 00:17:10,559
we have a motion by commissioner medina
do we have a second to approve the

69
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:14,319
agenda
second

70
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:19,079
we have a second by commissioner sena
all those in favor signify by saying hi

71
00:17:20,319 --> 00:17:24,720
motion carries we have an approved
agenda

72
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:30,000
okay uh
the approval of the minute

73
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:36,960
uh do we have a motion to approve
the minutes for november the 9th 2020.

74
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:39,120
i think there's an error for no mistake
and

75
00:17:40,559 --> 00:17:44,600
let me see if i find the minutes

76
00:17:47,679 --> 00:17:54,000
yeah um
it mentions

77
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:58,880
that madam chair maria martinez was
absent at that meeting

78
00:17:55,679 --> 00:18:03,919
but then the salutation of the flag
it says that commissioner martinez led

79
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:06,880
the pledge of allegiance and so we need
to make that correction if she wasn't

80
00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:09,360
there there was no way that she could
have

81
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:12,840
led the pledge of allegiance so we need
to make that correction

82
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,200
yes

83
00:18:20,799 --> 00:18:29,720
sounds good
uh any other questions or concerns on

84
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:29,720
the minutes of november the 9th 2020

85
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:34,960
hearing none will have a motion to
approve the minute

86
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:40,320
mr chairman i'd like to abstain from
this that uh due to the fact that we

87
00:18:37,039 --> 00:18:43,919
weren't sweating in yet or okay on board
all right

88
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:48,000
so uh commissioner medina has selected
to abstain

89
00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:52,160
voting on this item because he had not
taken office yet

90
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,160
um

91
00:18:54,320 --> 00:19:01,440
that's correct all right
uh so hearing that

92
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:06,559
you have a motion to approve the minutes
of november the 9th

93
00:19:03,679 --> 00:19:10,880
don't move mr chair with a correction
we have a motion by commissioner varela

94
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,880
do we have a

95
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:28,000
so we have an approved
minutes for the november the 9th

96
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:32,480
uh the next one is the minute or
december the 8th 2020.

97
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:37,000
are there any comments for questions on
the minutes of december the 8th

98
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:43,520
i'm i'm guessing that
commissioner medina and commissioners

99
00:19:41,919 --> 00:19:46,480

well

100

00:23:07,679 --> 00:23:12,559
plaque
before i present you with a plaque

146
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:18,480
there's a few things i'd like to say
um mr reyes

147
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,480
has been very instrumental

148
00:23:18,799 --> 00:23:24,640
to us
this is like an echo

149
00:23:22,559 --> 00:23:29,360
it's been very instrumental
to us uh san miguel coming

150
00:23:27,120 --> 00:23:33,919
with legislative issues that we've had
these past two years

151
00:23:30,799 --> 00:23:37,600
uh one one perfect example was
last year

152
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:41,600
i received a call
from victor

153
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:44,960
on a saturday morning asking me
what

154
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:49,200
miguel county's priorities were
and you know we were able to

155
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:54,880
identify those priorities
and when it was all said and done the

156
00:23:51,679 --> 00:23:59,120
priorities that we identified to victor
were in fact appropriated by the by the

157
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:02,000
legislature
we came out with almost a million

158
00:24:01,039 --> 00:24:05,360
dollars
from that

159
00:24:03,120 --> 00:24:08,960
uh most recently we had
a cdbg hearing

160
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:14,720
and victor
was the chairman of the cdc council

161
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:17,520
and you know we were soliciting money
for

162
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:23,360
a community development block grant in
my in my district which is country acres

163
00:24:20,799 --> 00:24:27,919
and we were able to secure
750 000 through

164
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:32,880
the assistance of victor
and so those are two examples of

165
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:37,200
of how san miguel county has been able
to benefit

166
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:41,039
uh with funds for capital improvements
for san miguel county

167
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:45,840
in addition to that
victor has

168
00:24:42,559 --> 00:24:49,520
become very involved with us with the
cobed situation that we've had

169
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:54,880
our
our city mayor uh louis trujillo has had

170

nope i would like to say something mr
chairman

252
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,559
okay

253
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:21,200
as
as a an attorney not a client

254
00:31:18,559 --> 00:31:26,000
when i'd go by and and visited she was
always very professional

255
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:29,919
responsive
uh

256
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:35,120
understanding who was there
what the parameters were the degree of

257
00:31:33,279 --> 00:31:36,960
security needed
uh

258
00:31:35,919 --> 00:31:41,039
and
just because i was an attorney she

259
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:46,240
wouldn't let me do anything that i
wasn't supposed to do she was the boss

260
00:31:43,279 --> 00:31:49,120
she knew it and people respected her
because

261
00:31:47,919 --> 00:31:55,760
it's a
area where the security is so critical

262
00:31:53,679 --> 00:31:59,440
and making sure you know who you're
dealing with

263
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:04,320
and what the person is there for and she
was the first person

264
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:10,000
that we as citizens and professionals
when we walk into the jail we see her

265
00:32:07,039 --> 00:32:15,120
she smiles she makes us welcome she
explains for those of us that don't

266
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:21,679
understand what the procedure is what
the process is why it is so important uh

267
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:27,039
and and being a local
she has that understanding of

268
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:32,340
how families come in very emotional to
jails maybe to visit

269
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:36,240
friends relatives children and how
[Music]

270
00:32:33,679 --> 00:32:41,840
some behavior should not be allowed what
other behavior is allowed and trying to

271
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:47,360
make it as comfortable
place for the both the innocent and

272
00:32:44,559 --> 00:32:52,480
guilty as they go through the process uh
the legal system the law enforcement

273
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:55,600

278
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:44,240
establishing a state public bank
and we have

279
00:33:42,159 --> 00:33:50,000
uh madam vice chair
uh janice varela and commissioner to

280
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:54,799
here trujillo who are co-hosting
sponsoring this particular item so i'll

281
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:57,120
go ahead and turn it over to
um

282
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:05,360
commissioner varela can you hear us
yes i can thank you mr chairman and uh i

283
00:34:03,519 --> 00:34:11,359
could defer to mr trujillo is in the
chambers and i'm expecting the gambles d

284
00:34:08,879 --> 00:34:15,679
and george campbell to present they did
present this idea to the commission

285
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:19,679
last year
about five six months ago

286
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:23,359
and i thought it was very interesting
i've been a mem i was a on the board of

287
00:34:21,839 --> 00:34:27,440
the new mexico community loan
development fund

288
00:34:24,879 --> 00:34:31,919
that provided loans and opportunities
for individuals and non-profit

289
00:34:29,119 --> 00:34:36,000
organizations who banks would not touch
and help so this is a wonderful

290
00:34:34,159 --> 00:34:39,760
opportunity i think we need to look at
this to see how we can provide

291
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:44,879
opportunities for our people in our
community who will need to serve banking

292
00:34:42,240 --> 00:34:47,760
services so um
commissioner trujillo do you have

293
00:34:45,919 --> 00:34:50,320
anything to add before we go to our
presenters

294
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:58,439
thank you the vice chair
um yes

295
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,439
[Music]

296
00:35:11,839 --> 00:35:15,240
you're there

297
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:26,880
okay can you hear me now
yes okay

298
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:31,440
yes um so during that last presentation
when the when the gambles came

299
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:36,560
came by and gave us this presentation i
was very intrigued and

300
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:41,680
actually relieved that there's another
option for residents and small

301
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:45,280
businesses in new mexico to have another
avenue to

302
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:48,320
obtain capital to sustain their
businesses and and their and their

303
00:35:47,119 --> 00:35:50,560
livelihoods
um

304
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:55,440
and i
and i see that this um

305
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:59,280
this movement if you will has has taken
hold and and there's actually a couple

306
00:35:58,240 --> 00:36:04,560
of bills
um or or a bill at the legislature right

307
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:09,119
now recognizing this effort
um i believe it's sponsored by senator

308
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:14,880
steinborn
and i i applaud him for for taking that

309
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:17,920
on and i think um
you know in his wisdom he can see also

310
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:23,760
that
um there's a there's a big need

311
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:28,800
um for this kind of banking in in small
communities and across the state

312
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:33,520
there's a lot of people in need that
sometimes banks won't uh

313
00:36:31,119 --> 00:36:37,520
you know won't touch as as you said
madam meister

314
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:42,320
and and some of these people are are
credit worthy they're as worthy as

315
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:47,520
anybody else they have vision they have
potential in some of these community uh

316
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:51,119
banks state banks um they see that
potential and they're not uh as a

317
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:56,320
as
reluctant to loan money to somebody in

318
00:36:53,599 --> 00:36:59,760
need and and that's that's why it
intrigued me enough to support this idea

319
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:04,960
and
and um you know i if if anybody i'm sure

320
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:08,640

questions and as well as

supporting this campaign for a state
public bank in new mexico

332
00:37:54,000 --> 00:38:00,079
as mentioned the bills to establish the
new mexico public bank have been

333
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:05,440
introduced in the current legislative
session

334
00:38:01,119 --> 00:38:12,800
sb 313 sponsored by jeff steinborn
and hb 236 it's the identical bill is

335
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:18,880
sponsored by representatives patricia
roybel caballero and elizabeth thompson

336
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:24,400
we have endorsements from the cities of
las cruces albuquerque and santa fe

337
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:28,240
and the county of santa bay
also the new mexico credit union

338
00:38:26,720 --> 00:38:32,720
association
and the new mexico food and agriculture

339
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:37,119
policy council and numerous other
organizations have

340
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:41,599
endorsed this idea
our leadership has worked for nearly 10

341
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:46,960
years to study the value of such
legislation and engaged in discussions

342
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:51,839
with state treasurer the state economic
development department and others to

343
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:57,119
determine the pros and cons of a state
bank for new mexico

344
00:38:53,920 --> 00:39:00,800
with the anderson school at unm we have
developed a plan for how the bank might

345
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:05,040
be structured
how it would be capitalized and how it

346
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:08,960
would operate in partnership with
community banks credit unions

347
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:14,560
municipalities
tribal entities

348
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:18,640
cdfs and across the state with numerous
organizations

349
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:22,160
we're motivated to promote a public bank
in part by our visits across the

350
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:25,680
counties
in our volunteer area where we see the

351
00:39:24,720 --> 00:39:30,240
need
for boosting the vitality of every town

352
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:32,800
and village
also we

353
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:37,359
like you
are determined to raise new mexico up

354
00:39:35,599 --> 00:39:43,119
from low measures
it constantly receives from every

355
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:48,079
indicator of family well-being
new mexico is not a poor state and we

356
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:52,720
all have to work to change that
perspective

357
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:57,680
by finding ways to invest in resources
in culturally appropriate social and

358
00:39:55,119 --> 00:40:02,480
economic development
your chairperson

359
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:07,119
has given us several questions
to respond to and maybe if that's all

360
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:11,280
right with all of you we'll start with
responding to those

361
00:40:08,839 --> 00:40:13,599
questions yes please do
okay

362
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:20,079
and then after we respond to those
questions

363
00:40:17,599 --> 00:40:25,359
we'd be happy to respond to any other
questions

364
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:31,040
first
how will the locally owned banks be

365
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:36,240
affected by this proposed state bank
you're requesting us to support

366
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:40,560
currently
las vegas

367
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:46,960
sun mcgill county currently has two
locally owned banks

368
00:40:42,720 --> 00:40:54,320
well a public bank is not a retail bank
a public bank is a banker

369
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:59,680
it is it is not a bank in which you or i
could open up an account

370
00:40:56,560 --> 00:41:04,839
it is a bank that works in cooperation
with

371
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:11,119
local community banks credit unions
municipalities tribal entities

372
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:14,960
cdfis regional economic development
districts

373
00:41:12,319 --> 00:41:21,079
it could provide
school district

374
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:21,079
school districts or municipalities

375
00:41:22,720 --> 00:41:30,480
financing opportunities rather than them
requiring

376
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:34,800
a bond issue
the conditions of the relationship

377
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:40,160
between the state public bank and
community banks

378
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:46,319
is one of partnership that is spelled
out in the bills that are submitted

379
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:53,200
the next question uh shall i i'll go on
from there unless you yes want to

380
00:41:51,599 --> 00:41:59,599
interrupt now go ahead and go ahead and
proceed okay uh the next question was

381
00:41:56,800 --> 00:42:04,960
how many states in the u.s actually have
state-owned banks and how have the

382
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:10,720
states having the state bank benefited
from having a state bank

383
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:15,119
well as a matter of fact the only state
that has a state-owned bank is in north

384
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:20,079
is north dakota
and it's just over 100 years old

385
00:42:18,240 --> 00:42:24,960
in recent months the states of
washington oregon and new york have

386
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:30,400
introduced legislation to establish a
public bank as well as the cities of

387
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:35,040
philadelphia and san francisco other
states and cities have groups

388
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:40,800
that are moving toward this idea
and it's been it's been a rather strong

389
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:46,160
movement since 2008
and there are all kinds of studies propo

390
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:50,560
and proposals for legislation
you can google the bank of north dakota

391
00:42:48,319 --> 00:42:54,880
to explore their reports from recent
years here's what we know from their

392
00:42:52,880 --> 00:43:00,319
reports and research from other
financial institutions

393
00:42:57,359 --> 00:43:04,720
in 2020 the bank of north dakota was
able to extend

394
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:09,119
1.7 billion
in ppp loans

395
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:12,880
through community banks to small
businesses

396
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:17,440
that is roughly 2
200

397
00:43:14,079 --> 00:43:22,560
per resident of north dakota
in the same period community banks and

398
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:28,640
credit unions in new mexico
did lend 1.2 billion in ppp loans to

399
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:35,040
small businesses
coming to about

400
00:43:31,319 --> 00:43:41,920
570 dollars per resident
in in new mexico community banks did

401
00:43:38,079 --> 00:43:47,599
help 9500 small businesses
but in north dakota 20 000 small

402
00:43:45,119 --> 00:43:53,040
businesses were able to get help
thanks to early efforts of the bank of

403
00:43:50,079 --> 00:43:57,280
north dakota and those relationships
that community banks and credit unions

404
00:43:55,280 --> 00:44:02,960
already had established
with the residents of their counties

405
00:44:00,319 --> 00:44:07,119
community banks and credit unions are in
fact

406
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:12,560
invested in their communities they know
their communities and want to see their

407
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:17,359
communities prosper and that is exactly
why the public bank partners with them

408
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:24,880
go ahead
how do municipalities and counties

409
00:44:23,839 --> 00:44:29,359
benefit
from a state bank

410
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:35,760
municipalities and counties always have
needs for infrastructure for buildings

411
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:43,280
to house health centers schools child
care centers farmers markets etc

412
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:48,960
rather than taking out a loan
i'm sorry taking out a bond that costs

413
00:44:46,240 --> 00:44:54,000
much more because of the many service
fees why not borrow money from a state

414
00:44:52,240 --> 00:45:00,000
public bank
the best part is when that loan

415
00:44:56,480 --> 00:45:05,680
at a very low interest rate is repaid
the return on on investment comes back

416
00:45:03,359 --> 00:45:11,119
to the public bank
which then provides more money to be

417
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:16,319
invested in your community or another
new mexican community

418
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:22,560
new mexico grows resources
for investments rather than allowing

419
00:45:19,599 --> 00:45:26,880
them to leak out of the state to
corporate bank shareholders

420
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:33,680
also
when community banks can expand their

421
00:45:31,119 --> 00:45:39,119
customer base by providing access to
more loans the whole community gains

422
00:45:36,720 --> 00:45:44,319
more money is circulated locally and
pretty soon

423
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:49,599
main street starts looking brighter
well the next question was how will a

424
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:53,599
state-owned bank be started
and how will it be able to sustain

425
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:58,720
itself
the plan

426
00:45:54,880 --> 00:46:01,040
uh from both the bill and and the
earlier earlier

427
00:45:59,920 --> 00:46:04,880
business
business plan

428
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:10,319
uh is that the public bank would be
capitalized with 50 million

429
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:16,240
from the state severance fund
then a second to 50 million would be

430
00:46:12,720 --> 00:46:22,400
deposited by the state from funds it
currently has deposited in global banks

431
00:46:19,839 --> 00:46:29,280
the original the original deposit would
be used to leverage as much as 10 times

432
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:35,440
the amount to offer the first loans
the interest paid from those loans is

433
00:46:32,319 --> 00:46:41,119
what sustains the bank and builds a
foundation of funds to be reinvested in

434
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:44,400
thousands of projects all across the
state of new mexico

435
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:53,760
last question
how strong do you feel about being

436
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:58,240
endorsed by the locally owned banks
with your efforts

437
00:46:55,359 --> 00:47:03,920
have you requested their support if so
what are the results regarding

438
00:47:00,319 --> 00:47:03,920
support or lack thereof

439
00:47:04,079 --> 00:47:12,160
we would very much like to have the
support and endorsement of community

440
00:47:09,119 --> 00:47:16,000
banks just as we have the endorsement of
the new mexico state credit union

441
00:47:14,319 --> 00:47:21,200
association
we have requested their support and our

442
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:26,800
leadership has tried to gain the support
of the new mexico independent community

443
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:33,520
bankers association
however that organization is currently

444
00:47:29,839 --> 00:47:40,720
rejecting the idea of a public bank
because they believe erroneously that a

445
00:47:36,319 --> 00:47:44,400
state bank would be their competition
we are not certain how many new mexico

446
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:48,800
community banks
are actually members

447
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:54,400
of the new mexico independent community
bankers association

448
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:58,000
only five are listed on their website as
affiliate members

449
00:47:56,720 --> 00:48:02,720
we believe
that that means

450
00:48:00,319 --> 00:48:08,319
that they mean well
but just do not understand the way this

451
00:48:05,599 --> 00:48:13,520
legislation could actually help them
grow

452
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:17,839
just as has happened in north dakota
north dakota now has

453
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:22,400
more community banks
per capita than any other state in the

454
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:28,720
union
new mexico like many other states has

455
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:31,839
been losing community banks to big
corporate banks

456
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:41,440
and that's the end of us addressing
those five questions we would

457
00:48:38,079 --> 00:48:47,599
welcome the opportunity to elaborate on
those questions or answers and anything

458
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:53,280
else that you have and also perhaps pat
would like to speak with regard to local

459
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,280
interest

460
00:48:55,119 --> 00:49:01,839
yes thank you um just briefly um
harold those are great questions that

461
00:49:00,240 --> 00:49:06,160
actually covered the ground that i was
going to cover so that makes my job

462
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:11,440
easier so what i'll do is just briefly
tell you that our 12 year old intern

463
00:49:08,559 --> 00:49:14,960
aydah at the peace and justice center um
wanted to present to you today but i

464
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:20,480
couldn't work out the logistics so i'll
just convey to you what she had to say

465
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:24,960
she has studied this for months the
public banking

466
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:29,520
act and the north dakota model and she
really wants to see it for new mexico

467
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:35,440
and there are some really specific
reasons why she's amazing she says she

468
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:38,640
wants you all to take the circle or loop
approach

469
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:42,240
rather than the straight line because
the straight line model

470
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:45,760
is
our money

471
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:49,760
immediately leaving the state
potentially up to half

472
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:54,640
of what a project could cost leaving the
state and going into the pockets of wall

473
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:58,480
street investors she wants you instead
to take

474
00:49:55,760 --> 00:50:01,760
the circle model as the one you support
where the money stays right here there

475
00:50:00,240 --> 00:50:04,720
aren't fees
and

476
00:50:02,559 --> 00:50:10,480
interest that go off out of state to
other people it all stays here and we

477
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:14,079
can save a lot of money and make
projects up to 40 percent more

478
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:17,920
affordable
so ada asks what's a project in san

479
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:20,800
miguel county
that

480
00:50:18,720 --> 00:50:25,920
we're really committed to that we need
money for and right away i mentioned the

481
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:30,720
the treatment and recovery center that
you all have recently voted to be the

482
00:50:27,839 --> 00:50:35,200
fiscal agent for thank you for that this
is something since 2003 the peace and

483
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:38,960
justice center has been
asking for and working towards along

484
00:50:37,119 --> 00:50:43,359
with a lot of others so
that's an example of a project so how

485
00:50:41,119 --> 00:50:47,040
would that work through our banks ada
and her friends would come to you the

486
00:50:45,359 --> 00:50:51,920
county would say yep we're going to fund
a portion of that let's look into that

487
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:54,880
let then you will go to our local bank
then they will go on our behalf to the

488
00:50:53,599 --> 00:50:58,480
public bank
come back with money that would be

489
00:50:56,559 --> 00:51:02,480
channeled through our local bank and
support this um

490
00:51:00,319 --> 00:51:06,559
treatment and recovery center and the
fact that we could make our money that

491
00:51:04,240 --> 00:51:11,839
much more efficient melinda would know
this if we can say we're going to save

492
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:17,280
up to 40 on a project that's remarkable
so um we we do hope that um you will

493
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:22,400

justice center has three areas of focus

00:51:19,839 --> 00:51:27,359
social justice economic justice and
environmental justice this project is a

495
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:31,119

526
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:25,280
next item is
resolution

527
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:30,960
two two two zero two one zero two
cm a resolution

528
00:54:28,559 --> 00:54:34,720
in house bill 4 of the first session of
the 55th legislature urging the new

529
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:39,040
mexico legislature to provide
more resources for behavioral health

530
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:43,119
prevention and treatment since
behavioral health issues are at the root

531
00:54:41,119 --> 00:54:47,440
of root cause of many civil rights
claims against local governments and

532
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:52,400
recommending damage
on any new civil rights cause and

533
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:58,480
actions as funding for any increased
costs associated with this and so we

534
00:54:55,520 --> 00:55:03,559
have miss our manager melinda gonzalez
to present

535
00:55:00,319 --> 00:55:03,559
ms gonzalez

536
00:55:17,359 --> 00:55:20,359
melinda

537
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:35,359
house bill 4 has been introduced to the
legislature that would allow

538
00:55:32,559 --> 00:55:38,800
caps to be removed for lawsuits against
law enforcement and would allow people

539
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:43,760
to
sue individuals in actions that they do

540
00:55:41,839 --> 00:55:46,640
on behalf of the counties or local
governments that they

541
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:49,920
um
that they served

542
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:54,400
um
and what this bill is going to do is

543
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:58,400
because that there's open-ended amounts
of monies that could be claimed

544
00:55:56,480 --> 00:56:02,319
on these axes it's going to make the
counties uninsurable

545
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:06,640
and so in association with the
association of counties

546
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:11,440
and with other counties we're sub we're
asking for this

547
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:16,960
resolution to be passed opposing house
bill 44.

548
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:21,119
house bill four sorry
and i could read the resolution if you

549
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:26,000
would like me to
i'm sure please

550
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:30,160
whereas in law's 2020 first special
session chapter one

551
00:56:28,240 --> 00:56:33,599
in house bill 5 in response to certain
high-profile

552
00:56:31,359 --> 00:56:38,079
civil rights violations
by law enforcement officers in other

553
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:42,559
states the new mexico legislature
created the new mexico civil rights

554
00:56:39,839 --> 00:56:45,760
commission to develop policy proposals
for law

555
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:51,119
for the creation of a civil right of
action for the deprivation by public

556
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:55,680
body or person acting on behalf of or
under the authority of a public body of

557
00:56:53,680 --> 00:57:00,240
any right privilege or immunity secured
by the constitution of new mexico and

558
00:56:58,079 --> 00:57:04,640
whereas the divided commission voted by
board to recommend that the legislature

559
00:57:02,240 --> 00:57:07,599
create a new state law cause of action
for violations of the new mexico

560
00:57:06,079 --> 00:57:12,079
constitution
that would not include a cap of

561
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:16,720
compensatory damages which is a break
from a lost long-standing balance struck

562
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:20,799
in the new mexico towards claim act
between compensating those harmed by

563
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:24,640
government action and the public good
and it would mandate reward of

564
00:57:22,559 --> 00:57:28,559
litigation expenses and attorneys fees
for prevailing plaintiffs which can

565
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:34,000
exceed the damage awards to plaintiffs
and are based upon hourly rates over 450

566
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:37,920
an hour and whereas the commission's
recommendation

567
00:57:35,359 --> 00:57:41,359
legislation was largely introduced into
the first session of the 55th

568
00:57:39,359 --> 00:57:45,040
legislature of the state new mexico as
house bill 4

569
00:57:42,799 --> 00:57:49,920
and whereas a new cause of action is
unnecessary to address new mexico's

570
00:57:47,359 --> 00:57:54,880
constitutional deprivations by law
enforcement officers including detention

571
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:59,520
officers at county jails since the tort
killing act already waived sovereign

572
00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:05,760
immunity for such claims in qualified
immunity is not a defense to such claims

573
00:58:03,359 --> 00:58:10,960
and whereas the parts claim act allows
plaintiffs to recover damages awards up

574
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:15,280
to one million fifty thousand and does
not allow for the recovery of litigation

575
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:18,960
expenses and attorney fees
and whereas the new mexico towards claim

576
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:23,520
act
balances compensating those damages by

577
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:27,520
government action and the public good
since the insurance premiums and

578
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:31,839
uninsured claim costs take money that
would otherwise be available for

579
00:58:29,599 --> 00:58:35,680
essential government services and
whereas research by the new mexico

580
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:40,799
counties presented to the commission
demonstrated that new mexico one of the

581
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:44,960
poorest union already allows for some of
the highest damage awards in the county

582
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:49,440
for state law claims against law
enforcement officers and whereas

583
00:58:47,119 --> 00:58:54,000
eliminating caps and mandating the award
of litigation expenses and attorney fees

584
00:58:51,599 --> 00:58:58,400
will increase the cost of claims and
will likely encourage more claims to be

585
00:58:55,760 --> 00:59:02,640
filed and whereas new mexico counties
and other governmental entities also

586
00:59:00,319 --> 00:59:06,880
demonstrated that a new cause of action
would cause reinsurance and other

587
00:59:04,799 --> 00:59:11,280
insurance coverage to no longer be
available to the new mexico county

588
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:16,160
insurance authority and whereas the
inability unavailability of reasonably

589
00:59:14,079 --> 00:59:19,440
priced insurance will cause local
governments to self-insure significant

590
00:59:18,559 --> 00:59:23,599
risk
which will divert scarce resources from

591
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:26,480
the very services that proponents of the
new cause of action are trying to

592
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:29,440
improve
to individual claimants and their

593
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:33,599
attorneys
and whereas the new cause of action

594
00:59:31,119 --> 00:59:38,240
carries the risks of unintended negative
consequences including the elimination

595
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:41,680
of services or the privatization of
services

596
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:46,160
whereas uninsured judgments that cannot
be satisfied through existing resources

597
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:49,280
will be paid by our citizens through
property taxes levied to meet the

598
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:52,960
judgment
whereas many challenges faced by local

599
00:59:51,359 --> 00:59:57,599
law enforcement
and county jails stand for concurring

600
00:59:55,280 --> 01:00:02,559
substance abuse and mental
health disorders in the population with

601
00:59:59,920 --> 01:00:06,319
which they interact and whereas instead
of diverting resources to individual

602
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:10,720
claims the legislature should be
providing more resources to serve this

603
01:00:08,799 --> 01:00:14,480
population which would minimize their
interaction with law enforcement and

604
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:17,440
keep them out of county jails and
whereas information presented to the

605
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:21,440
commission
demonstrated that the new mexico law

606
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:25,119
enforcement academy needs additional
resources to better train law

607
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:28,880
enforcement officers and timely
discharge its goal of investigating law

608
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:32,319
enforcement officers accused of
misconduct

609
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:37,280
and whereas timely removing the
certification of so-called bad cops

610
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:41,200
would more effectively and quickly meet
the goal of improving law enforcement by

611
01:00:39,359 --> 01:00:46,319
avoiding the recycling of such bad
actors among law enforcement departments

612
01:00:44,559 --> 01:00:51,359
and whereas a new cause of action would
apply to any public body defined as

613
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:55,520
state or local governments an advisory
board a commission an agency or an

614
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:58,720
entity created by the constitution of
the new mexico

615
01:00:57,359 --> 01:01:02,720
of new mexico or any branch of
government that receives public funding

616
01:01:00,559 --> 01:01:07,119
including political subdivisions special
tax districts school districts and

617
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:11,440
institutions of higher education or a
person acting on its behalf

618
01:01:09,599 --> 01:01:15,280
where such a broadly drawn cause of
action could have far-reaching

619
01:01:12,799 --> 01:01:18,799
ramifications in areas not
duly considered by the commission

620
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:21,680
including actions by former students
against

621
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:25,599
school districts for failing to provide
adequate education as recorded as

622
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:29,280
required by article
7 section 1.

623
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:33,200
now therefore be resolved by the board
of county commissioners

624
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:37,920
of san miguel county it opposes house
bill 4 in its current form since it is

625
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:41,599
unnecessary because victims of state
constitutional violations by law

626
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:45,760
enforcement officers
including detention officers can already

627
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:50,319
bring lawsuits for money damages for
violations of the new mexico

628
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:54,160
constitutional rights under existing law
it will not address the root cause of

629
01:01:52,319 --> 01:01:57,760
any claims against local governments
namely the lack of adequate state

630
01:01:56,000 --> 01:02:01,440
resources to treat
substance abuse and mental health

631
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:05,200
disorders in our community it will
further harden the public liability

632
01:02:03,359 --> 01:02:09,440
insurance market requiring local
governments to self-insure more risk in

633
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:13,680
creating the real possibility that
property taxes will need to be imposed

634
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:17,440
to meet uninsured judgments
it will likely be ineffective at driving

635
01:02:15,599 --> 01:02:21,680
reform or otherwise improving law
enforcement or other services

636
01:02:19,599 --> 01:02:26,319
because it will divert resources from
law enforcement and detention officer

637
01:02:23,599 --> 01:02:31,839
recruitment retention and training and
other critical services to claims and it

638
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:35,920
may be unintended negative consequences
such as limit eliminating critically

639
01:02:34,079 --> 01:02:40,160
high risk services
reduction of resources to educate

640
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:44,960
students in a return to privatization of
detention facilities to transfer risk to

641
01:02:42,559 --> 01:02:48,640
private companies
if a new state law cause of action for

642
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:53,920
the deprivation of the new mexico
constitution right is enacted it urges

643
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:58,319
the legislature to enact caps on
compensatory damages comparable to those

644
01:02:56,640 --> 01:03:02,559
in the tort claims act
and not allow the award of litigation

645
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:06,640
expense and attorney fees to prevailing
plaintiffs which will increase the cost

646
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:10,400
of all claims and will likely encourage
more claims to be filed including those

647
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:14,000
with minimal damages
it urges the legislature to invest in

648
01:03:12,559 --> 01:03:17,839
behavioral health prevention and
treatment to address the root cause of

649
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:20,799
many law enforcement claims against
local governments

650
01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:25,440
and revamping and improving the
operations of the new mexico law

651
01:03:22,559 --> 01:03:31,119
enforcement academy
thank you madam manager

652
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:34,400
do we have any comments or questions
from

653
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:37,599
the commission
anyone else that would like to speak

654
01:03:36,799 --> 01:03:41,119
uh
with regards to this issue

655
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:45,720
yes sir commissioner trujillo

01:03:47,599 --> 01:03:54,480

self-insurance fund with the new mexico

658
01:03:57,119 --> 01:04:05,039
uh counties association the county
is in a good place right now and

659
01:04:02,559 --> 01:04:09,440
and we have uh where
you know we're growing every year

660
01:04:07,039 --> 01:04:15,359
and with legislation like this it could
deplete the funds in that self-insurance

661
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:20,799
fund to a place where
we would not only

662
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:24,960
jeopardize our being able to go out into
open insurance markets but it would

663
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:29,280
deplete the self-insurance fund to a
point where

664
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:33,680
we won't be able to recover from from
you know many lawsuits without any caps

665
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:37,599
and and uh
and it would i think it would cause

666
01:04:36,319 --> 01:04:42,400
uh
i think it would cause a huge deficit in

667
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:47,440
the state's budget uh including the
association of the county self-insurance

668
01:04:44,319 --> 01:04:53,520
fund and for that reason i i support
this resolution opposing house bill 4 or

669
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:58,160
senate bill 4. thank you
thank you commissioner trujillo i i also

670
01:04:56,319 --> 01:05:01,039
agree with commissioner trujillo and our
manager

671
01:04:59,359 --> 01:05:06,640
this is a
very creative way

672
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:10,720
to defund our law enforcement in new
mexico and i

673
01:05:09,359 --> 01:05:14,079
you know this has been talked about
quite a bit

674
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:18,000
and it it is
coming to us to the legislature and i

675
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:23,920
also support
uh the resolution that we have before us

676
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:23,920

of the data i think uh uh

715
01:08:57,359 --> 01:09:03,120
mr trujillo uh
uh supplying us with some gender that i

716

sent him uh globally we're looking at
just over 106 million

717
01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:15,279
cases of coronavirus right now globally
as you can see further down here in the

718
01:09:12,719 --> 01:09:21,520
united states we're sitting just over 27
million cases which is more than double

719
01:09:17,440 --> 01:09:27,759
the next country yeah 10 million cases
also we wanted to move into our our next

720
01:09:24,159 --> 01:09:32,960
page there if you would mr uh trujillo
this is our local

721
01:09:29,359 --> 01:09:37,679
this is our local numbers for new mexico
uh we're sitting at 177 uh um

722
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:42,640
uh
cases i'm sorry uh if you slide down on

723
01:09:40,480 --> 01:09:46,960
the screen uh obviously everybody knows
that we are one of the few counties

724
01:09:44,719 --> 01:09:52,880
that are in the yellow one of six
counties uh there's two criteria to get

725
01:09:49,440 --> 01:09:57,520
us into either yellow or green we in the
last two weeks or the two weeks prior to

726
01:09:55,199 --> 01:10:03,040
this two weeks we did meet one of the
criteria was uh having a positive case

727
01:10:00,719 --> 01:10:07,920
rate of less than five percent
uh the new update for this will come out

728
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:10,960
tomorrow and we're hoping that we'll
still stay in the yellow

729
01:10:09,440 --> 01:10:14,239
i don't believe that we'll meet the
green just yet but things are looking

730
01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:18,560
good if you look at all our cases
throughout the state statewide there's

731
01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:22,159
been a few days that we had any cases
here in new mexico

732
01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:30,960
part of the part of what makes up the
the case count is how many tests are we

733
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:35,520
doing here locally uh department of
health and alta vista we're doing tests

734
01:10:33,199 --> 01:10:38,800
up to this past week
so now we're moving into doing a

735
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:44,239
curative test
uh if you click on one of those uh next

736
01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:50,320
testing sites up on the top if you would
so we've moved into curative oral saliva

737
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:56,080
testing we're doing that four day week
at our las vegas recreation center

738
01:10:53,120 --> 01:11:00,320
it's a very less invasive system that we
do you

739
01:10:57,440 --> 01:11:04,239
schedule prior to going to the the site
on thecurative.com website they ask you

740
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:08,320
some general questions insurance
information or if you don't have

741
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:14,800
insurance they also ask you that
um again it's an oral swab it's we ask

742
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:19,199
the actual patient themselves to do the
swabbing

743
01:11:16,719 --> 01:11:22,880
it comes in a little uh case like this
it comes with the

744
01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:28,640
swab and a vial
we then ask the patient to take the swab

745
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:32,960
out of the out of the casing
swab inside the right cheek for five

746
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:38,880
seconds the left cheek for five seconds
under the tongue for five seconds and

747
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:38,880
the roof of the mouth for five seconds

748
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:46,880
then we send it we put it in the uh
enclosed um

749
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:51,120
vial and we overnight them to a lab and
the patient would receive the results

750
01:11:48,719 --> 01:11:56,239
within 48 hours of the day that they
tested we took this over from the

751
01:11:54,480 --> 01:12:01,360
department of health so that they could
primarily also off the vista hospital so

752
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:04,480
that they could primarily focus on
vaccination sites

753
01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:12,000
so like i said alta vista hospital and
the department of health has ceased to

754
01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:17,040
do tests and that is taken on now with
our departments and with the

755
01:12:15,199 --> 01:12:19,520
partnership of city of las vegas we're
doing that at the recreation center

756
01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:23,840
again
monday through thursday nine o'clock to

757
01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:28,080
12.
if you click on one of the other uh

758
01:12:30,719 --> 01:12:36,800
i believe that's
one of the others so

759
01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:40,480
this is the site that i want to talk
about

760
01:12:37,679 --> 01:12:45,840
on screening and testing
if you click if you close into san

761
01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:52,000
miguel county or the city of las vegas
it will show you the two testing sites

762
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:56,719
if you pull down on the search bar there
and you search by city location if you

763
01:12:54,239 --> 01:12:59,760
slide down
further down if you would

764
01:13:00,239 --> 01:13:03,800
search by city

765
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:11,120
and you scroll down further it's going
to give you the two sites that are

766
01:13:08,880 --> 01:13:15,360
showing for testing availability in the
city which is the city of las vegas

767
01:13:13,440 --> 01:13:19,199
recreation center which is a site that
we are taking on

768
01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:23,920
and the other would be centro family
health which is primarily focused

769
01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:30,159
towards their patients
again there is testing available at the

770
01:13:27,679 --> 01:13:33,120
echoes valley medical center
i'm not too familiar exactly how many

771
01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:37,520
days a week that they are doing it but
it is available in that region

772
01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:44,080
obviously a lot of our constituents that
live in the western part of the county

773
01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:44,080
frequent to santa fe to get tested

774
01:13:44,719 --> 01:13:53,040
so that's pretty much uh the testing
part and challenge if we can move into

775
01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:58,480
vaccination now on one of the other
so this first screen is the department

776
01:13:55,440 --> 01:14:02,080
of house registration screen uh we asked
all the individuals if you would click

777
01:13:59,840 --> 01:14:06,080
there on the first uh tab create a new
profile

778
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:11,040
you fill out general information if you
slide further down on

779
01:14:08,880 --> 01:14:15,360
just go ahead and slide down
if you would

780
01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:18,640
general information contact information
if you further down it's going to ask

781
01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:22,719
you for medical
medical information this is the portion

782
01:14:21,120 --> 01:14:28,560
that is critical for individuals and
constituents to to fill out if they're

783
01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:32,000
not honest with the system and
have one of these qualifying underlying

784
01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:36,400
health conditions
then it's going to be a little longer

785
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:40,239
for them to get the event code for one
of our vaccinations

786
01:14:38,480 --> 01:14:44,719
we have a lot of individuals that come
to our sites and say i filled it out

787
01:14:42,719 --> 01:14:48,640
i haven't received a site i haven't
received an event code

788
01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:52,239
then i ask them if i can help them with
it come to find out that they still have

789
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:58,080
some boxes that are read in their
profile so it's it's crucial that if you

790
01:14:55,600 --> 01:15:00,719
if you have any trouble filling out this
digitally

791
01:14:59,199 --> 01:15:06,400
somebody help you
so that they can we can confirm that

792
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:12,239
your profile is completed so that you do
get the uh event code when we do have

793
01:15:08,640 --> 01:15:17,520
one of our qualifying vaccination sites
our vaccination sites again are by

794
01:15:15,199 --> 01:15:21,520
appointment only
we're doing vaccination sites at

795
01:15:19,440 --> 01:15:25,360
memorial middle school on on tuesdays
and thursdays

796
01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:30,159
and we have different dates for the
vaccination sites that we do at alta

797
01:15:28,239 --> 01:15:33,600
vista hospital
also el centro is doing vaccination

798
01:15:32,320 --> 01:15:37,920
sites as well but they're trying to
target their

799
01:15:35,120 --> 01:15:41,760
75 and over audience which they have
quite a bit of

800
01:15:39,600 --> 01:15:45,920
or or patience that fall into that
criteria again when we do our our sites

801
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:50,000
they are
uh

802
01:15:47,440 --> 01:15:52,960
by appointment only so let's say we have
an appointment like today we had an

803
01:15:51,679 --> 01:15:57,280
appointment i'm actually sitting here at
our vaccination site at memorial middle

804
01:15:55,040 --> 01:16:01,280
school you would have received if you're
in the qualifying

805
01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:05,440
you would have received that event code
the week prior

806
01:16:03,360 --> 01:16:11,679
so on a vaccination site like this at
memorial middle school we vaccinate

807
01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:17,120
300 individuals on a given day so that
event code gets broadcasted to six seven

808
01:16:14,400 --> 01:16:20,400
eight hundred individuals the first 300
individuals that get in there and

809
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:24,640
schedule their appointment
are the individuals that we get the list

810
01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:29,040
for to give vaccines to again
department of house vetted vets those

811
01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:32,800
individuals to make sure that they're in
the qualifying groups the qualifying

812
01:16:31,280 --> 01:16:37,679
groups right now we're finishing off
anybody else that's left in 1a which is

813
01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:41,360
direct patient care direct medical care
first responders

814
01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:44,880
and then we've moved into the first
portion of 1b

815
01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:48,880
1b is
75 and over

816
01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:52,800
and 16 and over with
qualifying

817
01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:55,920
underlining health conditions
it's going to be some time before we

818
01:16:54,640 --> 01:17:00,640
move into the
the second part of 1b

819
01:16:58,400 --> 01:17:04,960
and then obviously moving into further
down down the road 1c which would be

820
01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:08,560
probably not until the supreme portion
it's hard for us to move into new

821
01:17:06,719 --> 01:17:14,080
populations because not only are we
trying to to do first doses we still

822
01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:18,640
have to to vaccinate for the second dose
or booster shot how they say

823
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:22,880
uh for all these individuals
so it takes some time to get through and

824
01:17:20,480 --> 01:17:28,199
get into new populations
does anybody have any questions

825
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:28,199
from you

826
01:17:30,480 --> 01:17:36,800
um i i i do mr chair
go ahead mr trujillo

827
01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:46,000
uh mr maestas uh what's the
what's the outlook for

828
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:48,640
um
for future

829
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:53,760
dose
allocation for san miguel county um i

830
01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:57,280
know we're doing really well and i know
you guys are using

831
01:17:55,280 --> 01:18:01,520
virtually every dose you can get your
hands on and i commend you for that i

832
01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:05,040
think you guys are doing an amazing job
with that

833
01:18:02,480 --> 01:18:09,120
uh but is there any
you know any indication that we are

834
01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:13,040
going to get more because i i know the
people in san miguel county are doing

835
01:18:10,880 --> 01:18:17,520
really good and
they're they're ready for this vaccine

836
01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:24,880
and ready for this nightmare to be over
so uh any any indication from from doh

837
01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:32,719
or from from the fed or anybody
so if if uh mr trujillo populate that

838
01:18:28,640 --> 01:18:32,719
last screen the vaccination screen

839
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:36,679
that we had there i apologize

840
01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:46,320
so one more thing this should be one
more page with our vaccination uh

841
01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:50,000
or

842
01:18:50,159 --> 01:18:54,120
there should be one more link

843
01:18:54,800 --> 01:19:01,840
so that last link that i sent is
actually the dashboard for vaccination

844
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:06,480
and department of health
we are actually sitting at number four

845
01:19:04,239 --> 01:19:12,400
in the state with vaccine administration
per capita um

846
01:19:10,159 --> 01:19:15,360
let's see if we get it here nope
if you would just type in vaccine

847
01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:19,360
dashboard
nmdoh vaccine dashboard

848
01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:24,000
bear with us folks one second

849
01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:37,520
there you go
okay so this gives you an idea of how

850
01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:41,600
many vaccines we've given out how many
we've received and how many have

851
01:19:39,040 --> 01:19:46,960
received their step
uh no this is this is uh i'm sorry go

852
01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:46,960
back a screen

853
01:19:47,679 --> 01:19:51,840
back one uh back back out

854
01:19:52,080 --> 01:19:54,800
let's eat that

855
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:09,920
okay here we go
so right now we're just over 342 000

856
01:20:07,440 --> 01:20:14,159
vaccine vaccines in minnesota in the
state of new mexico if you scroll down

857
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:17,560
on the screen it shows that we are
number four

858
01:20:40,719 --> 01:20:47,600
as far as vaccine administration or
vaccine allocation per

859
01:20:44,840 --> 01:20:52,239
county um they have they have determined
that to be based off of population

860
01:20:50,480 --> 01:20:56,239
obviously the metro and bernalillo
county has a higher population donald

861
01:20:54,000 --> 01:21:03,040
county has a higher population
so we're getting those vaccines to our

862
01:20:59,360 --> 01:21:03,040
constituents into our sites

863
01:21:03,199 --> 01:21:11,120
and no vaccine has gone wasted uh
there's sites where

864
01:21:08,159 --> 01:21:14,120
we have a few things left over and we
ask

865
01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:29,440
yes sir
and

866
01:21:25,440 --> 01:21:32,880
anybody else have any questions
yes thank you mr maestas for this update

867
01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:38,320
it's always
informative and uh and um always learn a

868
01:21:36,159 --> 01:21:41,280
lot about what's going on but sometimes
the more we learn this more we're

869
01:21:39,760 --> 01:21:45,199
confused so
i was hearing conflicting information

870
01:21:43,440 --> 01:21:51,040
about when a member
an individual who's tested positive

871
01:21:47,679 --> 01:21:55,840
can uh go out in public if they've been
in isolation for 10 to 14 days if they

872
01:21:53,520 --> 01:22:01,280
could go out and not necessarily have to
wait to get a negative test back is that

873
01:21:58,320 --> 01:22:04,880
the case of what the protocol is for
behavior

874
01:22:03,440 --> 01:22:08,400
yes so
the isolation period after a known

875
01:22:07,040 --> 01:22:15,840
positive
is is 10 days after you test positive or

876
01:22:12,080 --> 01:22:15,840
10 days after your last symptom

877
01:22:16,639 --> 01:22:23,360
i'm sorry 10 days after your first
showed symptoms

878
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:26,880
so 10 days of your positive test taken
or 10 days from the first time you

879
01:22:25,199 --> 01:22:31,600
showed uh
symptoms

880
01:22:28,719 --> 01:22:31,600
and you do not so

881
01:22:32,239 --> 01:22:38,000
you do not need to get a negative test
to return to work

882
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:42,000
because what we're seeing is that some
individuals will will continue to test

883
01:22:40,159 --> 01:22:47,199
positive for two and three months after
they've after they've uh

884
01:22:44,400 --> 01:22:50,400
acquired a positive test
so it seems like that is new information

885
01:22:49,679 --> 01:22:54,239
or
that we don't need to be worried that

886
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:58,880
those people are going to be contagious
or carrying

887
01:22:55,440 --> 01:23:04,320
the virus to others is that right
yes that that's where the 10-day

888
01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:08,400
shedding period comes into effect
okay not for okay thank you and i have

889
01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:11,679
one more question and that is about the
um

890
01:23:09,360 --> 01:23:15,440
schools we know that uh it's up to the
school districts whether or not they'll

891
01:23:13,120 --> 01:23:20,719
return in person and i'm asking about
the pecos schools and i guess for all of

892
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:26,560
our schools in our county uh what about
the teachers and the school staff um

893
01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:31,679
are they in group 1b or would they be uh
1c

894
01:23:28,320 --> 01:23:31,679
unless they have underlying healthcare

895
01:23:31,840 --> 01:23:39,679
right so again one one a
is uh direct patient care

896
01:23:37,120 --> 01:23:43,920
so that any type of uh
physician dentist

897
01:23:41,679 --> 01:23:49,120
physical therapy anybody direct patient
care one b

898
01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:56,000
is uh again cater is we have a chart or
a ladder then one b

899
01:23:51,520 --> 01:23:56,000
and doc um i'm sorry uh um

900
01:23:56,320 --> 01:24:04,000
teachers and uh students
well i mean not teachers uh teachers and

901
01:24:02,080 --> 01:24:09,440
uh child care i'm sorry
teachers in child care fall under 1b

902
01:24:07,280 --> 01:24:13,840
we are we are targeting the first part
of 1b uh on the direction of department

903
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:18,400
of health and the state government
to target those those groups primarily

904
01:24:16,719 --> 01:24:22,960
first
uh when we first started

905
01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:26,960
um our 1b category
not all our sites had uh

906
01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:30,960
access to the department of house
website to send us a list of who's

907
01:24:29,440 --> 01:24:35,280
qualifying
the first day we did a large site at

908
01:24:32,719 --> 01:24:38,719
alta vista hospital we did target all
the groups in 1b which is essential

909
01:24:37,520 --> 01:24:41,360
workers
which was

910
01:24:40,239 --> 01:24:45,760
teachers
direct

911
01:24:42,480 --> 01:24:51,920
child care 75 and over and 16 and over
after we did that site department asked

912
01:24:48,719 --> 01:24:57,600
the whole state to not do that to only
go off of the 75 and over in 16 and over

913
01:24:54,800 --> 01:25:01,360
that's how a few of our
teachers were able to get their vaccine

914
01:24:59,520 --> 01:25:06,000
on that first go-around
okay thank you for that

915
01:25:04,080 --> 01:25:10,239
it's been a continuing evolving
situation every week things change from

916
01:25:08,320 --> 01:25:16,000
department of health direction where we
go with things so um stay tuned every

917
01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:19,520
week like i said can things can change
thank you i have one more follow-up

918
01:25:17,360 --> 01:25:23,760
question thank you for this information
and that is uh because we're in pecos

919
01:25:21,840 --> 01:25:28,719
and like you said some of our people go
to santa fe for the covid test what

920
01:25:26,960 --> 01:25:33,760
about for vaccines will the department
of health just go with um

921
01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:38,560
you know based on what they have in our
registration whether they could send us

922
01:25:36,159 --> 01:25:42,719
to vegas or santa fe or wherever or i
don't think we're doing them in pecos as

923
01:25:40,320 --> 01:25:49,280
yet as a as i know of would they just
send people in this area wherever they

924
01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:54,560
can come up first on the uh sites
so the the individuals that receive a

925
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:59,440
site code for a vaccine site are based
off of primary residents

926
01:25:57,120 --> 01:26:02,639
so if you're a resident of pecos which
we see tons of people coming in from

927
01:26:01,199 --> 01:26:06,960
pecos and they have a hard time finding
our vaccine sites because they're not

928
01:26:04,080 --> 01:26:10,960
familiar with our area as well
you would get it from from

929
01:26:09,280 --> 01:26:16,400
our only county
so if you're registered in from santa fe

930
01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:20,639
county you shouldn't be receiving a
vaccine code for a vaccine site in san

931
01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:24,800
miguel county
thank you so we'll be getting it for

932
01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:27,840
some first uh san miguel which will be
to vegas that answers my question thanks

933
01:26:26,880 --> 01:26:32,320
leo
thank you so much and and they are

934
01:26:30,320 --> 01:26:36,320
they are doing vaccines out of the pecos
valley medical center it's a small

935
01:26:34,159 --> 01:26:41,280
portion of vaccines every day but it's
all by appointment only yes

936
01:26:38,960 --> 01:26:44,000
and are they deciding who gets them is
it uh

937
01:26:42,320 --> 01:26:48,000
or is that from department of health do
they have to be on that

938
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:52,480
1a list
every vaccine site is given a list by

939
01:26:50,880 --> 01:26:56,400
department of health of who receives it
for that day

940
01:26:53,679 --> 01:27:02,000
okay thank you
yes ma'am

941
01:26:58,159 --> 01:27:05,320
any other questions or comments
i do try

942
01:27:05,440 --> 01:27:11,199
did i hear somebody
chairman garcia for sure yes sir

943
01:27:11,920 --> 01:27:17,600
thank you mr maestas for all your hard
work everything that you your staff

944
01:27:15,440 --> 01:27:21,120
everyone involved in this endeavor what
you guys are doing

945
01:27:19,120 --> 01:27:24,239
it is a very serious issue
and i think you guys are tackling it

946
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:28,480
appropriately
i wanted to ask what would possibility

947
01:27:27,360 --> 01:27:33,120
of getting
some vaccines or see if it's possible at

948
01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:36,320
the same again
clinic

949
01:27:34,320 --> 01:27:41,600
in elvia
able to also provide vaccines to the

950
01:27:38,560 --> 01:27:41,600
residents in that area

951
01:27:42,639 --> 01:27:48,159
so the the
clinic in san miguel is part of the el

952
01:27:46,880 --> 01:27:52,719
centro
uh systems all their patients are

953
01:27:50,400 --> 01:27:56,480
directed to go to el centro and i don't
know if they actually go to some miguel

954
01:27:55,199 --> 01:28:00,239
to give them
but i know that they are targeting all

955
01:27:58,159 --> 01:28:05,920
their audience
all of their patients from incentive

956
01:28:03,360 --> 01:28:08,400
thank you i think we want to
convene it

957
01:28:07,120 --> 01:28:12,000
to everyone
to be able to get these vaccines and i

958
01:28:10,400 --> 01:28:15,679
think it'd be important
if we could get

959
01:28:13,280 --> 01:28:19,440
those uh vaccines administered
at the same age as well

960
01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:28,239
i will communicate that uh that uh with
mr probst at el centro to see make sure

961
01:28:25,840 --> 01:28:32,880
that they are getting enough to the area
targeting that area

962
01:28:30,560 --> 01:28:32,880

01:28:33,440 --> 01:28:39,600

this particular one was there was an
opening for the tax processor one so

1041
01:34:42,159 --> 01:34:48,400
this is always a perfect opportunity to
revise these job descriptions re-look at

1042
01:34:47,520 --> 01:34:52,560
the
at the responsibilities and duties of

1043
01:34:50,639 --> 01:34:55,920
these positions so
um this one is

1044
01:34:54,560 --> 01:35:00,639
under the general direction of the
county treasurer and the chief deputy

1045
01:34:58,159 --> 01:35:05,199
treasurer the tax processor one performs
routine functions involving research

and i'd also like to thank mr dio and mr
febre for working on this job

1054
01:35:39,760 --> 01:35:45,760
description i think that that's a task
that we need to do across the board and

1055
01:35:43,840 --> 01:35:50,320
across the county is to work on job
descriptions make sure that what's

1056
01:35:48,239 --> 01:35:54,880
defined is actually what's taking place
see if they need to be changed so i do

1057
01:35:52,320 --> 01:35:59,520
appreciate your efforts ms eileen thank
you thank you

1058
01:35:58,239 --> 01:36:02,880
you know
i noticed that it's got a salary range

1059
01:36:02,080 --> 01:36:07,520
on
do we have those classifications still

1060
01:36:05,040 --> 01:36:11,440
active as far as the salary range i know
that back in

1061
01:36:08,800 --> 01:36:16,480
some we have tactifications
and are those still active and if go

1062
01:36:14,080 --> 01:36:21,440
is every department following the
classifications

1063
01:36:19,199 --> 01:36:25,920
um mr chair and commissioners i may have
to defer part of this question to mr

1064
01:36:23,360 --> 01:36:29,520
theo but yes they're still indicated in
there although they've changed from the

1065
01:36:27,920 --> 01:36:33,360
last adopted
salary schedule that

1066
01:36:31,520 --> 01:36:37,040
has been approved by the commission just
based on like the cost of living

1067
01:36:35,360 --> 01:36:39,600
increases that have been provided over
the number of years

1068
01:36:38,480 --> 01:36:43,360
um
and that is something that i really feel

1069
01:36:41,520 --> 01:36:48,000
strongly and so does meeting with ms
cedillo that we need to really work on

1070
01:36:46,080 --> 01:36:53,600
and that goes hand in hand with really
looking at the job descriptions making

1071
01:36:50,080 --> 01:36:58,239
sure again we know what people are doing
and what their expectations are and then

1072
01:36:56,480 --> 01:37:02,960
at some point in time we would like to
do a study to

1073
01:37:01,199 --> 01:37:06,719
make sure that
the

1074
01:37:04,400 --> 01:37:10,560
pay scale is accurate
and commence it

1075
01:37:08,560 --> 01:37:15,760
and i guess
if we compare it with other counties or

1076
01:37:12,880 --> 01:37:20,400
with other jobs within the county that
we make sure that we're on par with pay

1077
01:37:18,159 --> 01:37:24,159
across the board all right yeah that's
that that's one concern that i share uh

1078
01:37:23,040 --> 01:37:28,639
i know that
you know classifications are

1079
01:37:26,400 --> 01:37:34,239
are identified based on the job duties
of individuals and the ranges are

1080
01:37:31,119 --> 01:37:38,159
classified by the duties of individuals
and i know that that's become an issue

1081
01:37:36,719 --> 01:37:41,600
most recently
uh where

1082
01:37:39,520 --> 01:37:46,960
where um
classification is not really used

1083
01:37:44,800 --> 01:37:51,600
or maybe not maybe i'm not using the
right words but

1084
01:37:49,520 --> 01:37:56,639
we really need to look at that and and
try to update that because so that

1085
01:37:54,000 --> 01:38:01,520
there's consistent pay range
based on on duties

1086
01:37:59,199 --> 01:38:05,440
by each division
so thank you thank you for including on

1087
01:38:04,639 --> 01:38:10,639
here
and i look forward to

1088
01:38:07,840 --> 01:38:14,080
revisiting this soon
any other any other comments or

1089
01:38:12,480 --> 01:38:17,199
questions from the commission or from
staff

1090
01:38:14,960 --> 01:38:21,679
mr chairman i do have some
questions and comments uh following up

1091
01:38:19,520 --> 01:38:26,400
on the discussion that was just had
right here on

1092
01:38:23,360 --> 01:38:31,199
the job description and qualifications
and also salaries and fairness and

1093
01:38:29,040 --> 01:38:34,880
parody i'd like to see that you know
when we talk about the

1094
01:38:33,040 --> 01:38:38,239
budget and approve the budget we just go
through it really quickly and we get it

1095
01:38:36,400 --> 01:38:41,600
in advance but still i don't know if we
need a meeting to look at this but i

1096
01:38:40,480 --> 01:38:45,600
appreciate
what um our

1097
01:38:43,440 --> 01:38:49,760
interim manager ms gonzalez said and
then the efforts of missile because uh

1098
01:38:48,080 --> 01:38:52,400
it would really it's a problem if we
have

1099
01:38:50,800 --> 01:38:56,480
if there's not parity and fairness
across the board and we could lose

1100
01:38:53,920 --> 01:39:01,280
employees not only from our county but
from one department to another

1101
01:38:58,400 --> 01:39:05,119
because the pay isn't fair or scaled
appropriately and accordingly so i think

1102
01:39:03,600 --> 01:39:08,880
we need to look at that and see how we
could address that thank you for

good afternoon chairman garcia members
of the commission

1163
01:43:47,920 --> 01:43:55,920
good afternoon
um our communication project is is off

1164
01:43:52,239 --> 01:44:00,560
the ground uh we made an award to code
three incorporated out of albuquerque to

1165
01:43:59,600 --> 01:44:05,760
uh
update if you will our communication

1166
01:44:02,639 --> 01:44:10,639
system throughout san miguel county
through code 3 uh incorporated out of

1167
01:44:08,880 --> 01:44:17,280
albuquerque we're using a company called
uh codan who is a supplier who is a

1168
01:44:14,719 --> 01:44:22,639
manufacturer and and engineers that
design systems for such

1169
01:44:19,600 --> 01:44:28,239
agencies such as the military and the
fbi or some other big customers so uh we

1170
01:44:25,920 --> 01:44:33,199
have uh we have confidence with this
company that they're going to do as

1171
01:44:30,159 --> 01:44:37,920
good a job as possible for for us rural
new mexico and san miguel county

1172
01:44:35,760 --> 01:44:43,840
up on the screen if you see the
the tower sites that we use

1173
01:44:41,199 --> 01:44:47,520
those in yellow
turkey mountain pacheco tower

1174
01:44:46,400 --> 01:44:51,600
apache
trujillo and quintus sites those are the

1175
01:44:49,840 --> 01:44:56,960
sites that are going to be upgraded at
this time uh we are repeat replacing our

1176
01:44:54,639 --> 01:45:00,880
existing simulcast system
uh which is an

1177
01:44:58,320 --> 01:45:05,280
analog system that's at least 20 years
old we're gonna replace that system with

1178
01:45:03,679 --> 01:45:11,440
a digital
and analog system so the system will

1179
01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:16,320
have the capability uh here uh with san
miguel county fire and the sheriff's

1180
01:45:13,600 --> 01:45:20,719
office we have the capability of of
talking on a digital level so we'll be

1181
01:45:18,560 --> 01:45:24,639
using that system but we wanted to also
have

1182
01:45:21,520 --> 01:45:30,000
the the ability to talk in analog with
our partners such as the city fire

1183
01:45:26,880 --> 01:45:34,080
department which are using analog radios
we didn't want to have we didn't want to

1184
01:45:31,600 --> 01:45:38,159
lose that capability so we're going to
upgrade this system

1185
01:45:36,639 --> 01:45:43,360
not only are we upgrading the system
it's going to upgrade our coverage area

1186
01:45:41,199 --> 01:45:46,800
and so we should have
almost the entire company covered with

1187
01:45:45,199 --> 01:45:51,280
this upgrade
we are looking at the future for

1188
01:45:49,119 --> 01:45:55,760
for the western part of the county
there's a because of the mountainous

1189
01:45:53,360 --> 01:45:59,840
areas in that area we do have some
difficulties at times getting

1190
01:45:57,760 --> 01:46:04,960
communications in some of those areas
but we have uh

1191
01:46:01,920 --> 01:46:09,520
identified a couple of possibilities
but that is uh the

1192
01:46:06,639 --> 01:46:14,719
one of the features of the new system is
that we can expand uh in the future

1193
01:46:12,239 --> 01:46:19,679
without uh having to go back and
redesign the system so we've identified

1194
01:46:17,520 --> 01:46:24,000
you know right now we have one of our
frequencies one of our towers up on elk

1195
01:46:21,760 --> 01:46:27,920
mountain that seems like that would be a
very

1196
01:46:24,880 --> 01:46:33,920
uh suitable site to add to this
simulcast system

1197
01:46:30,320 --> 01:46:38,080
we've started some talks with the
us forest service that's their tower

1198
01:46:36,880 --> 01:46:41,450
we do have
one of our repeaters on there um we want

1199
01:46:40,800 --> 01:46:45,600
to uh
[Music]

1200
01:46:42,719 --> 01:46:48,880
change that repeater site and and bring
it into the simulcast system

1201
01:46:47,679 --> 01:46:50,800
um
so

1202
01:46:49,600 --> 01:46:55,119
and to explain a little bit what the
simulcast system does is is as you're

1203
01:46:53,199 --> 01:46:59,119
driving throughout the county
uh

1204
01:46:56,000 --> 01:47:02,800
in in our radio system uh say um you
know from here from the office if i talk

1205
01:47:00,880 --> 01:47:06,480
on my radio it's probably gonna hit the
pacheco's

1206
01:47:04,000 --> 01:47:11,280
site because it's closest but as i'm
driving through the county it

1207
01:47:08,480 --> 01:47:16,159
automatically detects which site is
stronger for me to use so it gives its

1208
01:47:13,920 --> 01:47:21,520
it simul it'll simulcast it'll
simultaneously transmit to another site

1209
01:47:19,119 --> 01:47:26,560
that's stronger closer without me having
to do anything on my end which is a is

1210
01:47:24,320 --> 01:47:30,960
is great for us uh you know there's
there's other systems that you have you

1211
01:47:28,800 --> 01:47:35,199
manually have to change channels as you
travel throughout large areas with this

1212
01:47:33,040 --> 01:47:39,440
system we don't need to do that it does
it automatically

1213
01:47:37,440 --> 01:47:44,080
so you know we're very excited to see
this project uh off and running right

1214
01:47:42,159 --> 01:47:47,760
now they're in the engineering
uh engineering and purchasing of

1215
01:47:46,080 --> 01:47:52,159
equipment phase
hopefully within the next three months

1216
01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:55,520
or so they'll start putting together
that system so this company will do

1217
01:47:54,159 --> 01:47:59,840
they'll they'll
build our system

1218
01:47:57,440 --> 01:48:03,040
at an off site location at their at
their location they'll build our entire

1219
01:48:01,679 --> 01:48:08,000
system
test that take it all apart bring it

1220
01:48:05,760 --> 01:48:10,480
down here and put it up in our top in
the towers that we use

1221
01:48:09,440 --> 01:48:14,320
um
the towers that we're using none of uh

1222
01:48:12,719 --> 01:48:19,920
the trujillo site tower is the only
tower that we own uh all the other sites

1223
01:48:17,280 --> 01:48:25,440
and i'm sorry about that concha site is
well owned that tower as well but turkey

1224
01:48:22,080 --> 01:48:31,199
mountain uh pacheco apache
uh and elk mountain we we rent space on

1225
01:48:28,159 --> 01:48:35,760
those towers uh from from the uh tower
owners uh most towers now are owned by

1226
01:48:33,360 --> 01:48:40,880
american tower company uh so we all we
rent space on those towers the trujillo

1227
01:48:38,159 --> 01:48:46,320
site we rent the land but the tower
itself is ours uh same with conchas will

1228
01:48:43,440 --> 01:48:51,119
own the tower site um and and that one's
going to be a new site that'll tie into

1229
01:48:48,320 --> 01:48:55,040
this existing system
the total project hopefully

1230
01:48:53,600 --> 01:48:58,960
hopefully in the next eight months will
be completed

1231
01:48:57,280 --> 01:49:04,400
um so we're you know we're really
excited to move into

1232
01:49:00,560 --> 01:49:09,760
some new digital age technology
i have a question mr duran

1233
01:49:07,440 --> 01:49:15,360
this particular project is
one of my pet projects that i

1234
01:49:12,639 --> 01:49:21,440
gave to the manager two years ago
when i took office um my district is up

1235
01:49:18,159 --> 01:49:29,600
in gaines cover is a good part of gaines
how how can we be assured uh to the

1236
01:49:25,360 --> 01:49:34,800
to the people in gaines in pecos in
gonzalez

1237
01:49:31,199 --> 01:49:40,239
and up in the area near laba and
and tapia how can we assure them

1238
01:49:37,679 --> 01:49:45,920
that this service is going to be
something that they can depend on uh

1239
01:49:42,560 --> 01:49:50,320
particularly our emergency response
uh providers for example our sheriff's

1240
01:49:48,080 --> 01:49:56,800
office the fire departments the
ambulances how can we be assured that

1241
01:49:52,800 --> 01:49:56,800
this is going to be the best possible

1242
01:49:57,600 --> 01:50:05,760
project that we're working on to address
the safety issue regarding

1243
01:50:02,960 --> 01:50:05,760
the entire county

1244
01:50:07,440 --> 01:50:13,600
uh chairman greece yeah we
they've provided us coverage maps

1245
01:50:12,000 --> 01:50:16,639
showing us the improvement that we'll
see

1246
01:50:14,400 --> 01:50:22,080
uh when this project is completed
um we've uh if we uh me along with the

1247
01:50:20,080 --> 01:50:26,639
emergency manager the sheriff's office
have been in contact with the vendor and

1248
01:50:24,639 --> 01:50:31,520
he provides us these coverage maps that
shows us where we are to where we were

1249
01:50:28,880 --> 01:50:36,960
today and where we will be uh once this
project is completed and we will have a

1250
01:50:34,320 --> 01:50:42,080
large portion of the county cover you
know the western part of the county is

1251
01:50:39,920 --> 01:50:45,199
is a little more difficult just based on
the terrain

1252
01:50:43,280 --> 01:50:50,639
because of the radio waves as they
travel across the air um it is a little

1253
01:50:48,000 --> 01:50:55,199
more difficult but right now that that
area of the county

1254
01:50:52,560 --> 01:51:00,320
has good coverage from the santa fe site
that part of the county is dispatched

1255
01:50:57,040 --> 01:51:05,119
out of santa fe regional dispatch center
so there is good coverage in that area

1256
01:51:02,480 --> 01:51:08,880
from the santa fe side but eventually we
want to tie that into

1257
01:51:06,880 --> 01:51:13,520
our our central location here in las
vegas uh uh conscious side the eastern

1258
01:51:11,520 --> 01:51:17,360
part of the county was another part of
the county that the sheriff's office

1259
01:51:15,840 --> 01:51:22,000
especially you know they once they
traveled so far from las vegas they lose

1260
01:51:20,080 --> 01:51:26,560
all communication with the guests with
artist 5 center um

1261
01:51:24,239 --> 01:51:30,159
once we get this conscious site up and
running over the entire project we'll

1262
01:51:28,480 --> 01:51:34,480
have coverage all the way down into the
eastern part of the county as well of

1263
01:51:32,080 --> 01:51:38,080
course a little more flat in that area
but um

1264
01:51:35,600 --> 01:51:42,639
this this this project will improve
communications uh

1265
01:51:40,159 --> 01:51:48,239
quite a bit
okay and then one more question there's

1266
01:51:45,679 --> 01:51:54,239
there's a tower that was installed at
the pueblo fire station uh is that tower

1267
01:51:51,520 --> 01:51:59,679
already being used and is that tower and
other potential for the communication

1268
01:51:56,560 --> 01:52:02,639
that we're we're talking about now
i

1269
01:52:00,400 --> 01:52:07,199
uh chairman garcia correct there is a an
atm t tower that was built

1270
01:52:04,639 --> 01:52:11,119
on us on one of our fire station sites
out there

1271
01:52:08,159 --> 01:52:13,440
right now we are not using that um
we

1272
01:52:12,320 --> 01:52:18,800
the
pueblo fire department um wanted to use

1273
01:52:16,000 --> 01:52:22,560
that for their own channel out in that
area

1274
01:52:19,920 --> 01:52:28,560
i think the best the best interest
overall is is to wait and see how we

1275
01:52:25,760 --> 01:52:34,320
can either tie in that that site or the
elk mountain site or both into our

1276
01:52:31,119 --> 01:52:38,719
existing simulcast system rather than it
rather than being rather than using that

1277
01:52:36,400 --> 01:52:44,880
tower for a one channel site for a
specific department if it's if it'll

1278
01:52:41,360 --> 01:52:48,800
work to tie it into our simulcast system
it would not only benefit that

1279
01:52:46,480 --> 01:52:51,760
department but it would benefit all our
departments including the sheriff's

1280
01:52:50,320 --> 01:52:56,080
office
the vendor is aware of that site

1281
01:52:54,320 --> 01:53:01,280
they will they will be running some
coverage maps from that location and as

1282
01:52:58,480 --> 01:53:06,320
well as elk mountain and uh and also
there's also a power up on romesa that's

1283
01:53:04,000 --> 01:53:10,960
owned by the uh uh
faa i believe so that they'll run

1284
01:53:08,639 --> 01:53:14,960
coverage maps and from there we'll we
can decide which will be the best option

1285
01:53:13,280 --> 01:53:20,800
on those three sites
to tie into the system

1286
01:53:17,840 --> 01:53:26,080
okay thank you any any comments or
questions from the commission mr chair

1287
01:53:23,440 --> 01:53:31,040
commissioner trujillo
chief duran um

1288
01:53:28,480 --> 01:53:36,159
what are your expectations of the vendor
to provide service after installation of

1289
01:53:34,159 --> 01:53:41,280
these towers
is there a warranty or do they guarantee

1290
01:53:39,679 --> 01:53:44,639
that they can
maintain or

1291
01:53:43,040 --> 01:53:49,920
or be
available to help if one of these sites

1292
01:53:47,040 --> 01:53:55,360
goes down due to weather or due to some
other cause um

1293
01:53:51,920 --> 01:54:02,000
can can we expect this this vendor to be
to be there uh for us and and to get you

1294
01:53:58,400 --> 01:54:02,000
guys up and running quickly

1295

commissioner uh chairman garcia
commissioner trujillo uh yes we've been

1296
01:54:06,159 --> 01:54:12,880
using this vendor for several years
we have a a maintenance contract with

1297
01:54:10,800 --> 01:54:18,800
them they may they currently maintain
our system now um one of the

1298
01:54:16,000 --> 01:54:22,400
advantages of the new system is is so at
each site there's

1299
01:54:20,400 --> 01:54:27,599
what's called a rack and that rack
has if you will the brains of the system

1300
01:54:25,280 --> 01:54:32,239
well when we now that we're doing our
new system they will actually house a

1301
01:54:30,159 --> 01:54:37,280
spare rack at their shop
and if one of our racks goes down it'll

1302
01:54:34,719 --> 01:54:42,080
be a matter of them driving that rack to
the site and replacing that and we'll be

1303
01:54:39,599 --> 01:54:45,440
we'd be back up and running uh
in a matter of

1304
01:54:43,440 --> 01:54:47,679
the time it takes them to replace that
rack

1305
01:54:48,320 --> 01:54:56,000
thank you thank you any other questions
or comments i have a question mr

1306
01:54:53,119 --> 01:55:00,960
chairman commissioner medina
mr dudan how are you doing this

1307
01:54:57,440 --> 01:55:04,960
afternoon uh i just wanted to ask you
on the

1308
01:55:01,920 --> 01:55:08,400
services that are owned by the company
is there any

1309
01:55:07,040 --> 01:55:13,840
other
lease

1310
01:55:09,760 --> 01:55:17,560
off of us however logistically
for somebody else

1311
01:55:18,000 --> 01:55:24,719
sure chairman garcia commissioner
if i understand your question correctly

1312
01:55:22,480 --> 01:55:28,320
um you're asking if other agencies lease
off of our our space

1313
01:55:27,119 --> 01:55:33,199
yeah
the only site that that is occurring at

1314
01:55:30,639 --> 01:55:36,560
is the trudeau site um
that one we you know we lease the land

1315
01:55:35,040 --> 01:55:40,639
we own the tower
and we have a las vegas city schools

1316
01:55:38,719 --> 01:55:44,080
leasing space on that tower
for i believe they use a communication

1317
01:55:43,199 --> 01:55:48,560
uh
system for their uh

1318
01:55:45,840 --> 01:55:52,400
out in that area
okay

1319
01:55:50,320 --> 01:55:57,440
but there's not like anything else like
such of the cell phone services or

1320
01:55:54,159 --> 01:55:57,440
anything that could be on there

1321
01:55:58,560 --> 01:56:04,960
right now no one has approached us of uh
of that need um the other towers that we

1322
01:56:03,679 --> 01:56:09,920
have that
sure not that we have that we have our

1323
01:56:07,119 --> 01:56:14,000
equipment on such as pacheco and and
turkey mountain those sites are being

1324
01:56:12,000 --> 01:56:17,760
used by multiple companies from cell
phone to gp

1325
01:56:15,599 --> 01:56:22,560
but it's not from
they're not leasing from us they're just

1326
01:56:19,840 --> 01:56:22,560
on the same tower

1327
01:56:23,360 --> 01:56:30,480
just looking for more revenue
[Music]

1328
01:56:28,400 --> 01:56:34,639
thank you thank you commissioner
uh any other questions or comments from

1329
01:56:32,960 --> 01:56:39,679
the board
just a follow-up question on what um

1330
01:56:37,360 --> 01:56:44,480
mr medina commissioner medina would just
ask chief duran so with el pueblo so

1331
01:56:42,560 --> 01:56:47,679
they do not have um
improved cell phone coverage because of

1332
01:56:46,480 --> 01:56:52,000
this tower
uh and is that a possibility that a

1333
01:56:50,080 --> 01:56:56,639
company like verizon
or um what's that other one that's

1334
01:56:54,000 --> 01:56:59,599
commonly used a plateau that they would
um

1335
01:56:57,760 --> 01:57:03,040
lease or use this tower to improve cell
phone reception for people there

1336
01:57:04,000 --> 01:57:11,280
chairman garcia
vice chair varela the site out in pueblo

1337
01:57:08,560 --> 01:57:16,880
is it is a atm t tower
they built the tower for their service

1338
01:57:14,159 --> 01:57:23,440
so that that area should have seen a
huge improvement from atm t

1339
01:57:20,560 --> 01:57:23,440
coverage area

1340
01:57:23,679 --> 01:57:29,280
so just that one company that's their
tower okay thank you all right

1341
01:57:29,520 --> 01:57:39,199
okay uh any other questions or comments
i just have one more question andrew mr

1342
01:57:36,239 --> 01:57:42,880
duran uh we're using half a million
dollars

1343
01:57:40,400 --> 01:57:46,320
appropriation from capital outlay last
year

1344
01:57:43,760 --> 01:57:52,280
if i'm correct and we're using
400 000 from the fire fund or how is

1345
01:57:48,800 --> 01:57:52,280
that being funded

1346
01:57:52,800 --> 01:57:57,520
garcia uh several several budgets were
used to

1347
01:57:56,560 --> 01:58:03,840
uh
cover the additional cost we we did

1348
01:58:00,480 --> 01:58:07,119
receive a 500 000 capital outlay and the
remaining

1349
01:58:05,040 --> 01:58:10,560
and thirty thousand dollars
uh

1350
01:58:08,719 --> 01:58:15,599
some persons came from
uh some of the fire districts that are

1351
01:58:13,119 --> 01:58:19,199
being covered by this expanse by this
upgrade i believe has about eight

1352
01:58:17,280 --> 01:58:23,679
thousand dollars from each of their fire
districts

1353
01:58:20,560 --> 01:58:28,480
and then we also had um funds from
my budget and then there was an

1354
01:58:25,679 --> 01:58:32,159
emergency fund that we have for for fire
services that was also used to cover

1355
01:58:30,719 --> 01:58:34,960
this cost
sounds good thank

monies that were transferred to the

1357
01:58:43,840 --> 01:58:50,080
emergency funds
for this tower came from

1358
01:58:47,920 --> 01:58:53,199
general sources from the general county
from the i don't know if it was from the

1359
01:58:51,520 --> 01:58:58,320
general fund or from one of our grocery
seat taxes that are outside of the fire

1360
01:58:54,960 --> 01:59:00,480
departments so 150 000 was transferred
to those

1361
01:58:59,360 --> 01:59:05,199

02:02:07,040 --> 02:02:12,080
construction
of a new fire station in the pecos

1403
02:02:10,320 --> 02:02:15,280
canyon fire district
the

1404
02:02:12,800 --> 02:02:21,760
site is going to be at the marbusa
springs hatchery uh we did receive

1405
02:02:18,639 --> 02:02:26,000
i believe there was a total of six bids
uh surprisingly you know we you know we

1406
02:02:24,239 --> 02:02:29,920
sometimes we don't receive
a lot of bids or a lot of interest in

1407
02:02:27,679 --> 02:02:33,520
these projects but we did receive six
bids for this project

1408
02:02:31,840 --> 02:02:38,480
all the bidders
met the the requirements during the bid

1409
02:02:35,920 --> 02:02:43,360
opening the lowest bid was submitted by
new image construction

1410
02:02:41,199 --> 02:02:50,000
we did receive one additional bid that
was uh emailed to the architect

1411
02:02:46,480 --> 02:02:53,199
but that was uh excluded based on the
definitions outlined in the bid packets

1412
02:02:52,320 --> 02:02:56,719
that
uh identified that bids had to be

1413
02:02:55,360 --> 02:03:00,960
delivered to
our administration office building and

1414
02:02:58,800 --> 02:03:02,880
could not be emailed to the
uh

1415
02:03:01,760 --> 02:03:05,760
architect
um i

1416
02:03:04,560 --> 02:03:11,679
the
the total uh the base bid project uh the

1417
02:03:08,960 --> 02:03:15,280
bid from new image construction is
774

1418
02:03:13,280 --> 02:03:17,520
904 dollars
um

1419
02:03:17,679 --> 02:03:24,000
we have we ask for your approval and
awarding this bid to new image

1420
02:03:20,880 --> 02:03:28,800
construction uh we are hoping that once
this award is made and

1421
02:03:26,560 --> 02:03:34,000
and permits are obtained
the construction will start uh shortly

1422
02:03:30,880 --> 02:03:39,199
thereafter i believe the the
uh architect included a 160 day build

1423
02:03:37,119 --> 02:03:44,480
time for this project so hopefully we
can have a new fire station uh in a few

1424
02:03:41,760 --> 02:03:47,920
in a couple of short months
thank you mr duran

1425
02:03:46,480 --> 02:03:52,239
madam manager
um have you reviewed this and are you

1426
02:03:50,560 --> 02:03:56,679
good with the budget
uh how does it reflect

1427
02:04:06,159 --> 02:04:15,280
this project will be funded through
several different funding options we did

1428
02:04:11,840 --> 02:04:20,719
have uh the department did receive a
state fire grant

1429
02:04:17,360 --> 02:04:24,560
and they they also have a 501c3
which has also

1430
02:04:22,480 --> 02:04:28,000
contributed a significant amount of
money to this project and with savings

1431
02:04:27,040 --> 02:04:33,679
that they
had over the years within their own

1432
02:04:30,000 --> 02:04:40,080
budget planning for this project
so we are within budget for the project

1433
02:04:36,320 --> 02:04:43,920
as far as far as our finances matter
manager

1434
02:04:41,199 --> 02:04:47,119
um mr chair and commissioners um yes we
are later on during the meeting we're

1435
02:04:45,679 --> 02:04:51,199
going to be as part of our mid-year
budget request we're going to be

1436
02:04:49,119 --> 02:04:55,599
asking for approval of an additional
seventy five thousand dollars 501c3

1437
02:04:54,159 --> 02:04:59,040
probably two months ago they had
committed to give a hundred thousand

1438
02:04:57,599 --> 02:05:02,880
they kicked in an additional seventy
five thousand plus our fire chief has

1439
02:05:01,520 --> 02:05:07,599
allowed a
internal loan from some of the grocery

1440
02:05:05,199 --> 02:05:11,280
seat tax resources that they have tied
to fire excise tax

1441
02:05:09,360 --> 02:05:16,239
which will be backed by the pecos
volunteer fire department over a seven

1442
02:05:13,119 --> 02:05:19,840
year period um this pretty much does
um

1443
02:05:17,440 --> 02:05:24,000
will wipe out their operating budget but
again they'll begin next year with that

1444
02:05:21,840 --> 02:05:28,560
and they'll be able to provide funds
back to the fire chief for that portion

1445
02:05:25,760 --> 02:05:32,560
but yes once that budget adjustment is
approved yes and we shall have

1446
02:05:31,119 --> 02:05:37,040
sufficient funds
sounds good thank you very much thank

02:05:54,159 --> 02:06:01,360
they both be in use
or will uh this new station

1453
02:05:59,040 --> 02:06:06,960
at the hatchery
chairman garcia um vice chair varela

1454
02:06:04,560 --> 02:06:11,440
both stations will be used this will be
on uh an addition additional station so

1455
02:06:10,719 --> 02:06:15,119
uh
you know once once they build an

1456
02:06:12,880 --> 02:06:19,360
additional station they'll be receiving
funding for two stations so that'll

1457
02:06:17,280 --> 02:06:22,800
increase their funding that they receive
from the state fire marshal's office

item
mr garcia

1470
02:07:14,480 --> 02:07:20,719
good afternoon can you hear me
yes we can

1471
02:07:17,840 --> 02:07:25,840
okay uh good afternoon chairman uh
garcia and commissioners um just gonna

1472
02:07:23,520 --> 02:07:28,320
give you an update and i know leo and
possibly arnold will give you probably a

1473
02:07:27,440 --> 02:07:33,760
little bit more information but i want
to give you an update on just the

1474
02:07:30,560 --> 02:07:38,840
technology bridge um just as of today i
talked to leo maestas in regards to the

1475
02:07:36,400 --> 02:07:44,480
bridge and we got state and fema
approval to move forward on the bridge

1476
02:07:41,760 --> 02:07:49,360
um i talked to miller engineering who is
the engineering firm on site for this

1477
02:07:46,800 --> 02:07:54,400
project and they sent uh an
advertisement form to melinda today

1478
02:07:52,400 --> 02:07:57,840
so we can move forward in the
advertisement uh probably the

1479
02:07:56,079 --> 02:08:04,079
albuquerque journal and the
in the optic uh we're looking at the

1480
02:08:00,719 --> 02:08:07,440
advertisement going out february 17th
and then and then we have to because

1481
02:08:06,000 --> 02:08:11,679
it's a federal project we have to
advertise for three weeks

1482
02:08:09,280 --> 02:08:15,599
so we're looking at opening up packages
bid packages march 11th

1483
02:08:14,400 --> 02:08:20,560
um
and then um then we come back to

1484
02:08:18,000 --> 02:08:26,960
commission uh to award
uh the the contractor based on our bids

1485
02:08:24,000 --> 02:08:32,639
uh april 13th at the commissioners
uh meeting april 13th for the contractor

1486
02:08:30,239 --> 02:08:36,960
um as you remember this bit this bridge
did go out to um

1487
02:08:34,560 --> 02:08:40,960
to bid once before but it was a full
construction

1488
02:08:38,239 --> 02:08:44,800
uh presentation and we were well over
budget of what was allowed this round

1489
02:08:43,280 --> 02:08:48,000
we're going with the original scope of
work

1490
02:08:45,679 --> 02:08:52,480
uh to stay into budget uh
which is about 750 000

1491
02:08:50,960 --> 02:08:57,199
and um
and so we're keeping uh our concrete

1492
02:08:54,560 --> 02:09:01,360
abutments and and so the scope of work
has changed but we have rece received

1493
02:08:59,119 --> 02:09:06,560
approval uh as
as the design for the engineer so we got

1494
02:09:04,480 --> 02:09:09,440
approval that from and that was
confirmed by leo

1495
02:09:08,079 --> 02:09:13,520
so
that that's pretty much i want to give

1496
02:09:10,880 --> 02:09:19,040
you some dates uh for a timeline for
that bridge i know uh this is this has

1497
02:09:16,400 --> 02:09:23,040
been in the works for a few years to try
to get that bridge repaired

1498
02:09:21,199 --> 02:09:26,880
and uh honestly with federal money it
takes a little bit longer and the

1499
02:09:24,159 --> 02:09:31,360
process is longer so um
i'll have any questions and if need be

1500
02:09:29,840 --> 02:09:35,679
leo or
the road forming arnold lopez can and

1501
02:09:33,280 --> 02:09:40,800
touch baseball anything that about the
project

1502
02:09:37,360 --> 02:09:46,239
i i'd like to make a few comments
mr garcia and i'd like to maybe

1503
02:09:43,280 --> 02:09:49,920
ask questions of you
you know this project

1504
02:09:48,000 --> 02:09:54,400
as far as i'm concerned is a very
important project it's

1505
02:09:51,679 --> 02:09:59,760
it's it's a bridge that was declared a
disaster back in 2014

1506
02:09:57,360 --> 02:10:04,159
almost seven years ago
you know we declared a fema

1507
02:10:02,000 --> 02:10:08,880
declaration a federal emergency
management declaration

1508
02:10:06,000 --> 02:10:12,960
and i'm a bit concerned that
it's taken almost seven years to get it

1509
02:10:11,440 --> 02:10:17,280
done
can you go over the timeline

1510
02:10:15,440 --> 02:10:21,920
and then also
being that this is such a

1511
02:10:20,560 --> 02:10:27,920
crucial
piece of public works uh in san geronimo

1512
02:10:26,320 --> 02:10:32,800
area
you're providing that i'm not an update

1513
02:10:29,920 --> 02:10:38,400
but it it's not a written update
and so it's hard for us to digest

1514
02:10:36,639 --> 02:10:42,400
this update because it's already
followed by

1515
02:10:39,760 --> 02:10:44,480
three or four previous updates that have
not been

1516
02:10:43,679 --> 02:10:47,920
uh
fulfilled

1517
02:10:45,679 --> 02:10:52,000
and so how can we be assured
uh with it being as long as it's been

1518
02:10:50,239 --> 02:10:55,199
how can we be assured that this is going
to be the final

1519
02:10:53,760 --> 02:11:00,960
uh time
this that this comes before us

1520
02:10:58,000 --> 02:11:05,679
and that it goes into construction
so that we can finally have this bridge

1521
02:11:03,360 --> 02:11:10,840
addressed seven years later
and i'm asking that question of you mr

1522
02:11:07,840 --> 02:11:10,840
garcia

1523
02:11:10,960 --> 02:11:15,920
so
so i

1524
02:11:13,440 --> 02:11:20,719
i certainly
uh

1525
02:11:17,280 --> 02:11:24,639
share your concern chairman garcia 2014
when there was this disaster that there

1526
02:11:23,040 --> 02:11:27,840
was some serious
damage

1527
02:11:26,079 --> 02:11:33,599
uh to the bridge
and uh and with with care miller

1528
02:11:30,400 --> 02:11:37,280
engineering has looked over it and uh
tried to see the process of

1529
02:11:36,079 --> 02:11:43,199
some of the recommendations that
honestly were prior done to me you know

1530
02:11:40,800 --> 02:11:49,040
and i think the processes that
mr maestas has taken through fema to

1531
02:11:45,920 --> 02:11:53,040
secure funding uh federally to try to
help that because

1532
02:11:51,440 --> 02:11:57,599
some of these bridges are expensive to
repair and uh and i have

1533
02:11:55,679 --> 02:12:01,040
been given an insurance from uh mili
engineering that there are no costs on

1534
02:12:00,239 --> 02:12:04,000
his
end

1535
02:12:02,000 --> 02:12:07,599
uh to move forward
for

1536
02:12:05,119 --> 02:12:12,400
for the engineering services and and the
state and the and according to mr maya's

1537
02:12:10,159 --> 02:12:17,360
the state and fema are going with the
recommendation of our of our engineer

1538
02:12:14,960 --> 02:12:20,719
and we are moving forward uh with it and
um and so

1539
02:12:19,280 --> 02:12:25,840
i don't know if we could call that the
scope of work has been uh reduced but we

1540
02:12:23,520 --> 02:12:30,320
are keeping the concrete abutments now
that would we that would give us

1541
02:12:28,079 --> 02:12:35,119
move the project into budget
um this last presentation that we had

1542
02:12:32,400 --> 02:12:39,920
back in november where it didn't meet
budget because it was like

1543
02:12:38,280 --> 02:12:43,679
250
000 over budget

1544
02:12:42,159 --> 02:12:49,760
um at least that
i'm sorry we must have an emergency uh

1545
02:12:45,920 --> 02:12:55,679
thing on our phones um uh so we the
scope of work is supposed to be within

1546
02:12:51,599 --> 02:12:55,679
budget and move the project forward

1547
02:12:57,520 --> 02:13:08,000
okay well uh
what i would like to do is have money

1548
02:13:04,719 --> 02:13:13,440
can add to inside of the budget and the
of the approvals that were given from

1549
02:13:09,599 --> 02:13:13,440
state and fema and fema

1550
02:13:23,110 --> 02:13:26,210
[Music]

1551
02:13:28,000 --> 02:13:34,639
mr chair and commissioners um regarding
this particular project at the time that

1552
02:13:32,159 --> 02:13:38,639
the agenda was put together we had not
received any notification from the state

1553
02:13:36,880 --> 02:13:43,040
of new mexico whether they had approved
this change of services or

1554
02:13:41,040 --> 02:13:46,800
whether they had
authorized us to continue with going out

1555
02:13:45,840 --> 02:13:50,800
for bid
this is just something that was just

1556
02:13:48,320 --> 02:13:54,000
very recent a matter of fact leo
called me during the lunch hour

1557
02:13:52,400 --> 02:13:58,239
indicated that he'll be forwarding that
information to me i'll be looking at it

1558
02:13:56,400 --> 02:14:01,760
to make sure that i fully understand
what's going on with the project and

1559
02:14:00,400 --> 02:14:05,440
that we
address anything right away that needs

1560
02:14:03,280 --> 02:14:09,520
to be addressed there's been several
extensions for this particular project

1561
02:14:07,360 --> 02:14:12,639
and just to kind of give you some brief
um

1562
02:14:10,320 --> 02:14:17,280
background on it and i might error in
some of this but when the bridge was

1563
02:14:15,040 --> 02:14:21,360
actually declared as disaster most of
the time that fema provides you with

1564
02:14:19,119 --> 02:14:28,400
funding they'll provide you funding to
get something restored to its original

1565
02:14:23,920 --> 02:14:31,840
um situation too where it's original um
building verb

1566
02:14:29,920 --> 02:14:35,840
thank you there's the word and at the
point in time the engineers that we were

1567
02:14:33,840 --> 02:14:39,199
working with um
had indicated that it would probably be

1568
02:14:37,599 --> 02:14:43,280
in the best interest of the county to
actually build a new bridge so at that

1569
02:14:41,679 --> 02:14:46,639
point in time our
office of emergency manager was working

1570
02:14:45,440 --> 02:14:51,599
with fema
and our county manager at the time

1571
02:14:49,040 --> 02:14:54,639
and they had approved a bridge could be
built and that's really something that's

1572
02:14:53,360 --> 02:14:58,480
out of the norm
but then there was a lot of turnover

1573
02:14:56,079 --> 02:15:02,800
with fema and we had turnover internally
as well and when the project got

1574
02:15:00,800 --> 02:15:05,920
readdressed it was determined that
that's no longer going to be the case

1575
02:15:04,400 --> 02:15:10,639
that the county would have to go with
the existing structure and bring it back

1576
02:15:08,239 --> 02:15:16,239
to its current condition
since then several extensions have been

1577
02:15:13,199 --> 02:15:20,560
requested of the state i believe in leo
correct me if i'm wrong i believe the

1578
02:15:17,760 --> 02:15:24,320
current extension is through april no an
extension cannot be requested until we

1579
02:15:22,400 --> 02:15:28,400
get closer to like a 30-day period
within that particular point in time at

1580
02:15:26,719 --> 02:15:32,079
that time leo will reach out to the
state and request another extension of

1581
02:15:30,560 --> 02:15:35,040
course the state knows where we're at
because they had to

1582
02:15:33,520 --> 02:15:38,480
provide the approval
to proceed with

1583
02:15:36,560 --> 02:15:42,639
going out for bid again and again i'll
be looking at that documentation and

1584
02:15:41,280 --> 02:15:45,760
we'll make sure that we're meeting
collectively

1585
02:15:44,000 --> 02:15:49,760
the office of emergency management the
road department and myself to make sure

1586
02:15:47,679 --> 02:15:52,960
that we're on top of what's going on and
to make sure that we report to you and

1587
02:15:51,440 --> 02:15:57,520
let you guys know if there's any
concerns or just to kind of let you know

1588
02:15:54,880 --> 02:16:02,159
what the status is
thank you thank you madam manager

1589
02:15:59,599 --> 02:16:07,280
the concern that i have is the
the safety of the bridge you know i know

1590
02:16:04,880 --> 02:16:11,520
uh i was here when we declared that
bridge of disaster

1591
02:16:08,800 --> 02:16:16,159
uh i was here almost a year after the
disaster

1592
02:16:13,040 --> 02:16:20,079
and we had to do some temporary repairs
to the bridge

1593
02:16:17,440 --> 02:16:24,800
which which we did
and i understand those temporary repairs

1594
02:16:22,000 --> 02:16:28,639
are still on it in the meantime
you know here we are seven years later

1595
02:16:26,320 --> 02:16:32,160
and it still hasn't been done so i i
must say that i do share that concern

1596
02:16:30,960 --> 02:16:36,800
and
it without without

1597
02:16:34,719 --> 02:16:40,800
me sharing the concern it would not be
me doing my job and so

1598
02:16:38,800 --> 02:16:45,040
um i appreciate that this is getting
done i appreciate that you're

1599
02:16:42,800 --> 02:16:48,639
keeping us updated melinda uh this is
something that we've been wanting for a

1600
02:16:46,479 --> 02:16:51,280
while and i appreciate that it's finally
getting done and let's hope that the

1601
02:16:50,319 --> 02:16:54,719
state
uh gives us the extension after april

1602
02:16:53,439 --> 02:16:59,519
because if they don't then we're going
to be in in worse in a worse situation

1603
02:16:57,200 --> 02:17:04,240
so uh thank you and thank you gerald
also for presenting

1604
02:17:00,960 --> 02:17:08,399
uh are there any questions comments i do
from the center center

1605
02:17:06,479 --> 02:17:12,559
um i understand that the county is going
to be uh

1606
02:17:09,519 --> 02:17:16,240
taking up a scope of this work
can you elaborate on that and see uh

1607
02:17:14,399 --> 02:17:20,880
what part of the county
the uh

1608

this development

1609
02:17:24,960 --> 02:17:30,479

i kind of cut out there then but i'm not

1610
02:17:28,160 --> 02:17:35,599

county's responsibility everything
um

1612
02:17:36,479 --> 02:17:43,599

arnold on this but as far as i know all

1613
02:17:41,439 --> 02:17:46,319
the work is gonna be part of the bid
process

1614
02:17:44,639 --> 02:17:50,880
uh in construction
um the design is done and so

1615
02:17:49,120 --> 02:17:55,519
the it'll be bidded out and that would
be part of the contractor's

1616
02:17:52,319 --> 02:18:01,359
responsibility for this project
san miguel county uh public works will

1617

good idea what are some of what he would
like to see as a road project and then

1646
02:20:12,800 --> 02:20:17,760
um whatever the commission decides uh
that's what i will

1647
02:20:16,720 --> 02:20:20,479
gear the
the application

1648
02:20:19,120 --> 02:20:24,000
for for the three
road projects mr lopez

1649
02:20:26,160 --> 02:20:31,840
there arnold yeah chairman garcia
members of commission

1650
02:20:32,479 --> 02:20:38,880
good afternoon
so um my recommendation for all

1651
02:20:36,640 --> 02:20:43,680
districts would be for you all to
consider our paved roads you know we've

1652
02:20:41,920 --> 02:20:49,920
been uh
stressing on the need for

1653
02:20:47,040 --> 02:20:55,760
improvement in our paved roads so every
district has paved roads and um any

1654
02:20:53,120 --> 02:21:01,359
three of the roads in any district would
be a great improvement um i could

1655
02:20:58,880 --> 02:21:04,960
recommend one in every single district
but um you know

1656
02:21:03,359 --> 02:21:10,000
there are many needs but if you would
consider pavement as priority i would

1657
02:21:07,760 --> 02:21:14,560
appreciate that
well i i i have one road in my district

1658
02:21:13,120 --> 02:21:19,520
gerald that i'd like to request
consideration of of course the county

1659
02:21:16,800 --> 02:21:24,479
commission is going to be the final
decision on where we go but i'd ask for

1660
02:21:22,319 --> 02:21:28,800
my peer commissioners to
consider

1661
02:21:25,600 --> 02:21:33,040
uh funding for uh los fegiles in my
district as one of the local government

1662
02:21:31,600 --> 02:21:36,800
uh road fund
uh considerations

1663
02:21:35,439 --> 02:21:41,840
are there any other
uh considerations or recommendations by

1664
02:21:39,120 --> 02:21:41,840
the commission

1665
02:21:42,080 --> 02:21:47,040
yes sir mr medina
yeah i'd like to follow through with

1666
02:21:47,120 --> 02:21:51,840
as a
chief seal i think it's my favorite

1667
02:21:49,920 --> 02:21:54,640
planet uh former commissioner chris
nahan

1668
02:21:53,120 --> 02:21:58,960
okay
and uh put that on his uh

1669
02:21:57,840 --> 02:22:04,399
wish list
and i also will get together with uh

1670
02:22:01,760 --> 02:22:06,240
district engineer james gallegos
and

1671
02:22:05,200 --> 02:22:09,680
let him know
see what he feels about us doing that

1672
02:22:08,000 --> 02:22:14,479
road too
okay uh do we have any other requests

1673
02:22:12,399 --> 02:22:18,160
from the commission
yes mr chair

1674
02:22:16,319 --> 02:22:21,760
yes sir mr trujillo
um

1675
02:22:19,200 --> 02:22:25,520
i'd like to see that road in
in pandaria it's about a two mile

1676
02:22:23,600 --> 02:22:31,280
stretch
be placed on on this lg rf

1677
02:22:28,000 --> 02:22:34,960
uh it's a 34 i believe
and

1678
02:22:32,560 --> 02:22:39,280
you know every year we get a little bit
from the legislature on this road and

1679
02:22:37,280 --> 02:22:43,200
it's never enough to
just finish the project

1680
02:22:41,200 --> 02:22:48,399
we're putting band-aids on on a
deteriorating road and and i think you

1681
02:22:46,080 --> 02:22:53,600
know it's it's high time that we we
finish that road it's a

1682
02:22:51,280 --> 02:22:58,800
very well used road people
hundreds of people use it every day yeah

1683
02:22:56,000 --> 02:23:03,840
winter and summer and i think it it's a
worthy uh worthy project thank you

1684
02:23:01,840 --> 02:23:06,120
thank you commissioner trujillo any
other

1685
02:23:05,040 --> 02:23:11,520
any other
considerations chairman garcia

1686
02:23:08,800 --> 02:23:17,359
mr senna
the bernal chapel area

1687
02:23:14,160 --> 02:23:20,399
has been started and we're off to
and i would like to see that uh area

1688
02:23:19,120 --> 02:23:27,680
completed
and as well as uh a26a uh la manga

1689
02:23:24,960 --> 02:23:30,880
that uh that's also a paved word uh road
that could use some attention

1690
02:23:36,080 --> 02:23:41,920
yes thank you mr chairman i know that um
we're all competing for this small

1691
02:23:40,720 --> 02:23:46,880
amount of money and we all have
tremendous need i would like to see

1692
02:23:44,560 --> 02:23:50,399
completion of the road in san ysidro i
appreciate that we got funding

1693
02:23:48,720 --> 02:23:54,240
the last year and they've been waiting a
long time and then we could just finish

1694
02:23:52,000 --> 02:23:58,319
that road for them and they could have a
finished project that would be ideal

1695
02:23:56,240 --> 02:24:02,720
also crb
56 i believe it's across from the dairy

1696
02:24:00,640 --> 02:24:07,680
queen it's a paved road and it's in
pretty bad shape but um those two would

1697
02:24:05,439 --> 02:24:10,319
be my priority for um
for funding

1698
02:24:10,720 --> 02:24:16,399
okay uh
daryl did you get those those

1699
02:24:15,120 --> 02:24:21,520
roads that we've
mentioned to you

1700
02:24:18,720 --> 02:24:24,479
yes yes sir i wrote them all down
okay

1701
02:24:22,399 --> 02:24:29,439
uh so it looks like we have
two from commissioner senna one from

1702
02:24:26,479 --> 02:24:32,000
commissioner one from myself
one from commissioner medina and two

1703
02:24:31,200 --> 02:24:35,920
from
from commissioner varela

1704
02:24:34,640 --> 02:24:42,120
um
where where do we stand what where does

1705
02:24:38,080 --> 02:24:42,120
what are the wishes of the board

1706
02:24:53,520 --> 02:25:00,399
one for co-op and one for school bus
correct there are three projects and

1707
02:24:58,640 --> 02:25:04,640
then we get to apply for the match
waiver well typically historically we

1708
02:25:02,560 --> 02:25:09,920
have always applied for the match waiver
for the highest

1709
02:25:06,640 --> 02:25:13,520
highest contracted bids so so if
something comes up pretty high we try to

1710
02:25:11,520 --> 02:25:17,120
go for our match whatever and and quite
honestly we've been pretty successful in

1711
02:25:15,040 --> 02:25:19,920
getting those match waivers
yeah

1712
02:25:18,080 --> 02:25:26,960
yeah if i hadn't just picked one i would
pick sonny sidrow for now

1713
02:25:22,840 --> 02:25:29,920
okay and and so arnold can i can i uh
ask you to

1714
02:25:28,560 --> 02:25:33,120
to
based on those names that you've been

1715
02:25:31,760 --> 02:25:38,080
given on roads
uh can you tell us the status of each of

1716
02:25:35,280 --> 02:25:42,080
these roads
sir

1717
02:25:39,600 --> 02:25:46,960
so in los vegas for example i'll start
there

1718
02:25:43,680 --> 02:25:53,520
that portion of of paved road is in dire
need it's a very good uh choice

1719
02:25:50,479 --> 02:25:56,720
good candidate for this
funding

1720
02:25:54,720 --> 02:26:02,800
um
before you know their small amount

1721
02:26:00,880 --> 02:26:05,760
i've always
maybe stacking

1722
02:26:04,319 --> 02:26:12,000
some of the
grf's together we've done that

1723
02:26:09,120 --> 02:26:15,520
utilize two
one

1724
02:26:12,800 --> 02:26:20,560
in order to really accomplish something
and not not just create a small

1725
02:26:17,920 --> 02:26:25,040
band-aid as per say
but that is a a very good uh

1726
02:26:23,200 --> 02:26:30,479
consideration there
on panda rays

1727
02:26:27,439 --> 02:26:37,040
in commissioner trujillo's district also
is one that that we started

1728
02:26:33,359 --> 02:26:42,640
san ysidro was started we have an lgrf
for um bernal area

1729
02:26:39,840 --> 02:26:45,439
and uh so forth i mean it's it's hard
for me really just to

1730
02:26:44,399 --> 02:26:50,319
um
designate you know an area

1731
02:26:48,160 --> 02:26:54,800
in all fairness to commission um we
could always draw

1732
02:26:52,240 --> 02:26:54,800
straws

1733
02:26:56,560 --> 02:27:03,520
but any of those they're all good
selections it's very difficult to to

1734
02:27:00,560 --> 02:27:07,760
prioritize one they all hold a high
priority

1735
02:27:04,800 --> 02:27:07,760
in my opinion

1736
02:27:08,319 --> 02:27:15,359
well i'm i'm i'm going to
i'm going to extend

1737
02:27:12,800 --> 02:27:20,000
a request for consideration for my
district in las vegas

1738
02:27:17,520 --> 02:27:25,359
and i hope that i can garner support for
one fund for that particular project

1739
02:27:22,640 --> 02:27:28,399
and i'll go ahead and say why
you know that

1740
02:27:26,800 --> 02:27:31,920
district one
is a highly traveled

1741
02:27:30,640 --> 02:27:35,680
district
you know there there's there's traffic

1742
02:27:34,080 --> 02:27:39,200
that goes through there
on a daily basis school buses that go to

1743
02:27:38,240 --> 02:27:45,439
their
uh emergency units that go through there

1744
02:27:42,000 --> 02:27:49,200
of course it happens uh at all the other
roads as well

1745
02:27:46,800 --> 02:27:53,600
um but i would i would venture to say
that the traffic the amount of traffic

1746
02:27:51,760 --> 02:27:58,880
that goes through my district there in
los vegas

1747
02:27:55,359 --> 02:28:03,680
is amazing on a daily basis and you know
this project was

1748
02:28:00,560 --> 02:28:07,359
was done way back probably 20 24 years
ago

1749
02:28:04,800 --> 02:28:10,960
when we first started at the county
and if we don't continue with the upkeep

1750
02:28:09,760 --> 02:28:16,080
of it
uh we're going to end up having to do

1751
02:28:13,760 --> 02:28:21,280
prayers to it and so
i'm i'm going to solicit

1752
02:28:18,960 --> 02:28:24,880
support from the commission on that and
i'm willing to to um

1753
02:28:23,680 --> 02:28:30,240
consider
two other roads uh if

1754
02:28:27,120 --> 02:28:34,000
if the commission is up to it
uh mr chairman

1755
02:28:32,160 --> 02:28:36,560
yes sir mr medina
does that

1756
02:28:36,720 --> 02:28:45,760
are you including that extension on
eighth street gets back there

1757
02:28:41,840 --> 02:28:49,680
in the winter times or even summer rain
will that include that too

1758
02:28:47,520 --> 02:28:52,800
is it the one north of
it's like almost by williams drive that

1759
02:28:51,680 --> 02:28:57,840
so
that no that particular road uh

1760
02:28:55,920 --> 02:29:00,560
there's been a debate
it would be in the las vegas area yes

1761
02:28:59,680 --> 02:29:05,399
sir
i like i'm proud to be that i was part

1762
02:29:02,960 --> 02:29:12,880
of that paving back in
2006 around there so i will give you my

1763
02:29:08,960 --> 02:29:12,880
support on that thank you commissioner

1764
02:29:14,479 --> 02:29:21,280

1811
02:33:01,200 --> 02:33:08,640
my discussion
mr chairman commissioners

1812
02:33:05,920 --> 02:33:11,920
is really in two parts on the ambulance
service

1813
02:33:10,240 --> 02:33:18,800
the first part
is a public discussion as as by the

1814
02:33:15,760 --> 02:33:21,840
agenda to give the public
an indication of what's been going on

1815
02:33:20,960 --> 02:33:27,200
and
and where we are going what some of the

1816
02:33:24,800 --> 02:33:31,520
issues are
the second portion

1817
02:33:28,800 --> 02:33:34,880
will be done in executive session
because it's a negotiation as provided

1818
02:33:33,840 --> 02:33:39,280
for
by the open meetings act

1819
02:33:37,040 --> 02:33:44,720
a negotiation as to
the the terms of the agreement the

1820
02:33:42,720 --> 02:33:49,760
negotiation between the city and the
county the negotiation

1821
02:33:46,640 --> 02:33:54,880
between the county and the
ambulance providers in this particular

1822
02:33:52,720 --> 02:34:00,240
case at this point in time
there was an rfp

1823
02:33:58,080 --> 02:34:05,120
a request for proposals
for ambulance service providers

1824
02:34:02,960 --> 02:34:08,560
and there were two
uh responses

1825
02:34:07,280 --> 02:34:12,080
by
superior ambulance

1826
02:34:11,040 --> 02:34:17,120
and
amr

1827
02:34:14,319 --> 02:34:21,439
the
rfp

1828
02:34:18,560 --> 02:34:26,399
and the analysis and the interviews
have occurred

1829
02:34:23,200 --> 02:34:30,640
uh and some of the
questions and considerations

1830
02:34:28,880 --> 02:34:34,399
by
for example the criteria

1831
02:34:32,960 --> 02:34:38,240
was
how much experience do each one of these

1832
02:34:36,399 --> 02:34:41,840
companies have
in the field of emergency medical

1833
02:34:40,080 --> 02:34:45,120
service
how well do each one of these companies

1834
02:34:44,080 --> 02:34:50,560
have
in the knowledge of the city of las

1835
02:34:47,520 --> 02:34:57,200
vegas and of san miguel county
uh technical implementation of the

1836
02:34:54,560 --> 02:35:03,359
actual ambulance service
a past record of performance

1837
02:34:59,680 --> 02:35:03,359
by the applicants

1838
02:35:03,520 --> 02:35:10,840
those are some of the evaluation
issues

1839
02:35:07,840 --> 02:35:13,439
uh that were provided
the um

1840
02:35:14,000 --> 02:35:22,720
i think that that the
concerns that i have

1841
02:35:19,840 --> 02:35:30,000
stem from
the

1842
02:35:24,840 --> 02:35:33,280
rfp the initial request for proposals
intentionally

1843
02:35:31,520 --> 02:35:37,200
eliminating
the village of pecos and the pecos

1844
02:35:35,760 --> 02:35:43,359
canyon
and how are we going to use

1845
02:35:40,399 --> 02:35:48,399
the ambulance
that is located in that area

1846
02:35:46,720 --> 02:35:53,040
the
and i'm still very concerned because

1847
02:35:53,120 --> 02:36:01,040
i real and it's hard to explain this but
much of what goes on through this rfp

1848
02:35:59,120 --> 02:36:05,439
and this negotiation
some of it it can be publicly discussed

1849
02:36:03,200 --> 02:36:09,200
and some of it all some of it has to be
privately discussed on an executive

1850
02:36:08,080 --> 02:36:12,319
session
as the process goes so what i'm trying

1851
02:36:11,040 --> 02:36:17,760
to do here is
is discuss as much as i can that can be

1852
02:36:15,600 --> 02:36:22,319
publicly discussed
so

1853
02:36:18,479 --> 02:36:26,880
what i see is
a negotiation

1854
02:36:25,200 --> 02:36:31,920
between the
the city and the county

1855
02:36:28,960 --> 02:36:37,439
as far as
how much is it going to cost

1856
02:36:34,399 --> 02:36:43,280
how much is the city going to pay how
much is the county going to pay

1857
02:36:40,399 --> 02:36:48,160
uh and how does that compare
with previous years

1858
02:36:45,200 --> 02:36:53,920
uh sometimes in previous years we had
the city and the county each having

1859
02:36:50,319 --> 02:36:59,520
their own separately negotiated contract
the proposal here is to have the city

1860
02:36:56,960 --> 02:37:02,479
and the county join together
and select

1861
02:37:00,960 --> 02:37:05,520
the
provider

1862
02:37:03,840 --> 02:37:09,280
based on some of the factors i talked
about earlier

1863
02:37:06,960 --> 02:37:14,319
and then try to decide
how are we going to

1864
02:37:12,080 --> 02:37:21,840
balance out the cost
for example

1865
02:37:16,880 --> 02:37:27,840
the city uh will have a majority of use
by the ambulance service because they

1866
02:37:24,640 --> 02:37:33,120
have the majority of the population
the county

1867
02:37:29,920 --> 02:37:37,120
stretches all the way to conchas
rociada

1868
02:37:35,040 --> 02:37:42,240
pecos
the vianueva valley the pecos valley

1869
02:37:40,560 --> 02:37:46,399
and so
service there

1870
02:37:44,560 --> 02:37:50,720
is critical
um because everybody needs to be able to

1871
02:37:48,880 --> 02:37:54,240
feel comfortable about being able to
call the ambulance

1872
02:37:52,160 --> 02:37:58,960
and have somebody
and some professionals arrive

1873
02:37:57,680 --> 02:38:03,359
even when
the location of the family

1874
02:38:02,399 --> 02:38:08,319
might be
30 to 45 minutes away

1875
02:38:06,399 --> 02:38:12,399
the question becomes
that we're

1876
02:38:09,600 --> 02:38:17,120
dealing with is where the ambulance is
going to be stationed

1877
02:38:14,800 --> 02:38:17,120
and

1878
02:38:17,280 --> 02:38:22,479
should
the

1879
02:38:20,080 --> 02:38:29,439
cost be born
as fairly as possible and what is fair

1880
02:38:25,520 --> 02:38:33,600
it's it's it's it all depends uh from
what viewpoint you have if you're

1881
02:38:32,000 --> 02:38:36,319
if you're on the county you don't want
to be

1882
02:38:34,479 --> 02:38:40,800
paying uh
more for less service if you're in the

1883
02:38:38,560 --> 02:38:45,520
city you don't want to be paying
more for the same thing less service

1884
02:38:45,840 --> 02:38:50,000
my biggest issue is

1885
02:38:50,160 --> 02:38:56,080
this process has gone on
basically without pecos and the pecos

1886
02:38:54,560 --> 02:39:00,560
valley
and i'm concerned about how do we

1887
02:38:59,120 --> 02:39:06,479
continue
service there

1888
02:39:03,520 --> 02:39:11,840
and how much is it going to cost pecos
to get involved in this

1889
02:39:09,120 --> 02:39:16,560
three-way arrangement
and where are those ambulances going to

1890
02:39:14,160 --> 02:39:19,600
be stationed at
that

1891
02:39:17,520 --> 02:39:24,560
is something that i think where we will
move now into or later on in this

1892
02:39:22,399 --> 02:39:28,640
meeting to executive session
uh to talk about the

1893
02:39:26,880 --> 02:39:32,000
the financial details and the
negotiation details

1894
02:39:34,160 --> 02:39:41,520
nothing further at this point okay
all right uh

1895
02:39:38,880 --> 02:39:46,399
madame manager medina
melinda do you have anything you'd like

1896
02:39:43,600 --> 02:39:46,399
to add to this

1897
02:39:47,040 --> 02:39:52,960
mr chair and commissioners i think
everything i have to add will have to be

1898
02:39:50,479 --> 02:39:56,880
stated in executive session
okay thank you very much

1899
02:39:54,880 --> 02:40:00,960
okay so uh
thank you dave

1900
02:39:58,319 --> 02:40:05,600
and and you know before i
before we continue

1901
02:40:02,720 --> 02:40:09,840
if i'm not mistaken the rfp
uh the only thing that it left out was

1902
02:40:07,600 --> 02:40:13,359
the village of pecos not necessarily the
pecos canyon

1903
02:40:11,600 --> 02:40:16,720
because the pecos canyon is part of san
miguel county

1904
02:40:14,720 --> 02:40:22,240
and so i may be wrong
but if i'm not mistaken that's that's

1905
02:40:18,720 --> 02:40:22,240
what the rfp stated and so

1906
02:40:22,560 --> 02:40:28,960
you're correct mr chairman
all right

1907
02:40:26,640 --> 02:40:33,359
thank you dave uh
so next item is item 14.

1908
02:40:34,720 --> 02:40:40,319
mou
and we have mr arno lopez to present

1909
02:40:42,080 --> 02:40:50,880
chairman garcia members of commission
so this item is the teco loquitos

1910
02:40:48,960 --> 02:40:57,760
miguel county public
is operating a solid waste transfers

1911
02:40:53,840 --> 02:40:57,760
within the anton chico land grant

1912
02:40:58,720 --> 02:41:06,640
we are
trying to enter into an agreement

1913
02:41:02,960 --> 02:41:11,760
between san miguel county solid
and dimensions of guadalupe county solid

1914
02:41:09,439 --> 02:41:16,640
waste department and the anton chico
land grant

1915
02:41:13,520 --> 02:41:22,640
so the purpose of this mou is we were
approached by the members of

1916
02:41:19,359 --> 02:41:27,680
um the land grant there in te colotito
the anton chico land grant board

1917
02:41:25,040 --> 02:41:32,479
so we've been operating there for for
numerous years and i don't know how many

1918
02:41:29,680 --> 02:41:36,800
exactly but it's been uh
the operation there has been just a

1919
02:41:34,800 --> 02:41:42,080
portion of the land grant
it's not uh improved it's not fenced

1920
02:41:39,920 --> 02:41:45,920
it's just a piece of property
that is being utilized as a as a

1921
02:41:44,720 --> 02:41:50,080
transfer
location

1922
02:41:47,680 --> 02:41:54,399
and uh we we have another mou
established with guadalupe county and

1923
02:41:52,160 --> 02:42:00,319
they're the ones that manage the solid
waste collection you know within that

1924
02:41:56,880 --> 02:42:05,040
area but uh when they approached us uh
they're wanting improvements made to

1925
02:42:02,399 --> 02:42:08,880
this area and what they're requesting of
course is going to require some

1926
02:42:07,040 --> 02:42:13,359
some dirt work
some subgrade prep and then also some

1927
02:42:11,520 --> 02:42:17,040
surfacing which will surface with our
base cores we'll we'll utilize our

1928
02:42:15,680 --> 02:42:21,680
equipment to do
the dirt work within the arion

1929
02:42:19,760 --> 02:42:28,560
and in their request they're requesting
a fence a three-sided fence structure

1930
02:42:25,040 --> 02:42:33,280
to contain trash and debris um they're
kind of fed up with with the trash being

1931
02:42:30,800 --> 02:42:36,319
blown all over that that area of the
land grant and into neighboring

1932
02:42:35,040 --> 02:42:39,600
properties
so it's come to the point that we do

1933
02:42:38,160 --> 02:42:45,840
need to do something
for that area to contain the the trash

1934
02:42:43,600 --> 02:42:49,760
so um when they approached about these
improvements being that we do not have

1935
02:42:47,680 --> 02:42:54,640
an mou established there
and there was no time frame that we

1936
02:42:51,680 --> 02:42:58,720
could utilize the property for
i requested from them an agreement an

1937
02:42:57,680 --> 02:43:04,000
mou
that secures the property for so many

1938
02:43:01,760 --> 02:43:07,760
years that way when we do the
improvement

1939
02:43:05,439 --> 02:43:12,479
we don't get pushed out of the property
within a year or two

1940
02:43:10,080 --> 02:43:16,960
the most that they would go on this mou
is seven years they will let us utilize

1941
02:43:14,960 --> 02:43:23,520
this property at no cost
and um within the seven years um they

1942
02:43:20,640 --> 02:43:28,080
can make some changes but it secures the
property for seven years and then after

1943
02:43:26,160 --> 02:43:31,280
that we'll have the option into entering
into another agreement

1944
02:43:32,640 --> 02:43:36,399
okay
is there any

1945
02:43:34,720 --> 02:43:38,800
are there any questions from the
commission

1946
02:43:38,960 --> 02:43:42,800
madame
uh manager

1947
02:43:41,439 --> 02:43:46,800
melinda
do you have anything that you'd like to

1948
02:43:44,399 --> 02:43:52,800
add to this
um mr chair and commissioners um this

1949
02:43:49,840 --> 02:43:55,920
mou was in process um several months ago
and um the last

1950
02:43:54,960 --> 02:44:02,080
as
mr lopez mentioned it went back to the

1951
02:43:58,000 --> 02:44:05,279
antuchiko land grant to ex to
increase the amount of time i guess at

1952
02:44:03,760 --> 02:44:08,960
first they said it was going to be four
years and the county was really pushing

1953
02:44:07,439 --> 02:44:13,760
for a longer period of time they were
hoping for 10 so they got the 7.

1954
02:44:11,600 --> 02:44:18,399
so we're and this has already been
improved also by our attorney so i think

1955
02:44:15,760 --> 02:44:23,279
we're set to go with the mou it is going
to come at a cost of

1956
02:44:21,040 --> 02:44:26,560
erecting that chain fence chain fence
that he mentioned and that's been

1957
02:44:24,560 --> 02:44:30,560
included in our mid-year budget
also public works will be able to

1958
02:44:28,560 --> 02:44:35,279
enhance the crew and the equipment to be
able to do the movement of the land to

1959
02:44:33,279 --> 02:44:39,920
build the berms that are required for
the mou so we're good to go

1960
02:44:38,960 --> 02:44:44,000
thank you
thank you melinda are there any comments

1961

going to

1964
02:44:52,319 --> 02:44:57,680
have a mou made that
it's only right that the county has

1965
02:44:55,760 --> 02:45:00,880
advanced for the debris that goes all
over the place you know trash is a real

1966
02:44:59,359 --> 02:45:04,960

02:54:11,200 --> 02:54:19,359
10 freeholders
we received a petition of 16.

2087
02:54:16,560 --> 02:54:25,600
they provided their deposit to the
planning and zoning

2088
02:54:22,000 --> 02:54:29,200
so this request is basically to
request approval from the commission or

2089
02:54:27,920 --> 02:54:32,160
disapprove
to

2090
02:54:30,080 --> 02:54:36,720
conduct a road viewing
so that we could come back and provide a

2091
02:54:34,800 --> 02:54:39,760
recommendation to
the county commission uh regarding this

2092
02:54:38,800 --> 02:54:45,040
road
so this road begins um

2093
02:54:42,080 --> 02:54:49,840
if you take uh southbound i-25 and you
get off and take a lot

2094
02:54:46,960 --> 02:54:53,600
and you go under the underpass
and then once you cross the underpass

2095
02:54:51,600 --> 02:54:59,040
you head east
it starts uh probably about 200 yards

2096
02:54:56,800 --> 02:55:06,240
from from that intersection
where mr kunisovich lives and then ends

2097
02:55:02,800 --> 02:55:10,399
at the end where samantha sandoval lives
so it's approximately half a mile

2098
02:55:08,640 --> 02:55:13,040
uh it's a well
maintained road

2099
02:55:12,319 --> 02:55:16,640
so
the action requested by the commission

2100
02:55:14,720 --> 02:55:21,040
today is to
approve and authorize the road viewing

2101
02:55:19,279 --> 02:55:26,560
and direct the county commission to
allow the county road viewers

2102
02:55:23,840 --> 02:55:30,800
to conduct a road viewing
so at this time i'll stand for questions

2103
02:55:28,560 --> 02:55:34,720
thank you mr chair
thank you do you have any questions or

2104
02:55:32,800 --> 02:55:37,120
comments from the commission
chairman

2105
02:55:37,840 --> 02:55:43,600
this is
pretty busy or

2106
02:55:42,000 --> 02:55:47,040
well established
and i think

2107
02:55:45,120 --> 02:55:52,319
the buses pass through there
uh

2108
02:55:48,640 --> 02:55:56,399
i like to uh go ahead and make them
okay so what we're doing is we're going

2109
02:55:55,120 --> 02:56:00,640
to be
approving a road viewing of this

2110
02:55:59,040 --> 02:56:06,000
uh we do have
an established uh road viewing

2111
02:56:03,680 --> 02:56:10,479
group of people that have been approved
by the county commission previously and

2112
02:56:08,560 --> 02:56:14,160
so um
with uh

2113
02:56:12,479 --> 02:56:19,200
it looks like we're asking for
authorization approve and authorize the

2114
02:56:16,640 --> 02:56:24,000
rural viewing and direct county staff
viewers to submit a recommendation to

2115
02:56:21,120 --> 02:56:27,840
the board of commissioners and so uh
before we proceed with this are there

2116
02:56:26,640 --> 02:56:32,240
any other
uh questions or comments

2117
02:56:30,240 --> 02:56:35,600
uh commissioners
uh anything else

2118
02:56:36,240 --> 02:56:40,560
uh
gonzalez do you have anything you'd like

2119
02:56:38,640 --> 02:56:44,880
to add to this
um mr chair and commissioners the only

2120
02:56:42,479 --> 02:56:49,040
thing i would like to add is it has come
to the attention that this road was a

2121
02:56:47,279 --> 02:56:52,560
public road or a county road at one
point in time

2122
02:56:50,160 --> 02:56:57,040
and that it was abandoned at the request
of the land grant

2123
02:56:54,319 --> 02:57:00,479
so um if this road viewing is to take
place um we'll ask the

2124
02:56:58,800 --> 02:57:03,680
the group to make sure to include the
land grant in there

2125
02:57:02,000 --> 02:57:07,760
and prior to making any kind of
recommendation to the commission will

2126
02:57:06,000 --> 02:57:12,240
ensure that the land grant is well
informed of what's taking place and give

2127
02:57:10,160 --> 02:57:16,479
their blessings if it's the
recommendation is to adopt it

2128
02:57:14,960 --> 02:57:21,040
all right thank you
mr chairman

2129
02:57:18,160 --> 02:57:24,640
yes sir mr archuleta mr chair and
members of the commission

2130
02:57:22,560 --> 02:57:29,359
um if in fact the
county commission

2131
02:57:26,240 --> 02:57:33,120
does approve a rude road viewing today
uh we would have two dates of public

2132
02:57:31,520 --> 02:57:37,120
posting
and then we would also include uh

2133
02:57:35,120 --> 02:57:41,920
inviting the land grant
to the road viewing as well and any

2134
02:57:39,359 --> 02:57:46,160
members of that area residents who wish
to participate

2135
02:57:44,560 --> 02:57:50,720
good job
thank you very much you know um

2136
02:57:48,640 --> 02:57:55,760
i don't know if i'm in order or not but
i i understand

2137
02:57:52,800 --> 02:58:00,880
that our public works director
uh lives off of this road and so

2138
02:57:58,479 --> 02:58:03,760
how would we proceed with that because
there's going to be some

2139
02:58:02,560 --> 02:58:08,240
some
a possibility of action taken

2140
02:58:06,240 --> 02:58:12,560
and so how can we
refrain from any participation

2141
02:58:11,520 --> 02:58:18,080
that may
infringe on the county uh when it comes

2142
02:58:15,680 --> 02:58:22,479
to this
and maybe that's an answer that our

2143
02:58:19,920 --> 02:58:25,520
county attorney can answer
mr

2144
02:58:24,080 --> 02:58:28,319
chairman
can you hear me

2145
02:58:27,040 --> 02:58:34,319
yes we can
and before before we proceed i i want to

2146
02:58:32,240 --> 02:58:36,160
find out if that's in fact
uh

2147
02:58:35,359 --> 02:58:40,720
some
is gerald there kell garcia

2148
02:58:43,680 --> 02:58:52,160
i am not as concerned about
the potential conflict of interest or

2149
02:58:50,080 --> 02:58:54,800
maybe even appearance of impropriety
when you have

2150
02:58:55,439 --> 02:59:03,520
someone who is benefiting
directly or indirectly from the

2151
02:59:00,640 --> 02:59:06,800
work that is being done by the county
for all of us the

2152
02:59:05,200 --> 02:59:11,279
basic rule is
if i have a conflict of interest if you

2153
02:59:09,120 --> 02:59:14,800
have a conflict of interest if you're
going to benefit from

2154
02:59:13,279 --> 02:59:18,240
county action
directly or indirectly then what we do

2155
02:59:17,120 --> 02:59:23,040
is we just
raise our hand we tell the rest of the

2156
02:59:20,319 --> 02:59:27,760
commissioners that as far as this agenda
item is concerned

2157
02:59:25,840 --> 02:59:31,200
i may have a conflict of interest
because

2158
02:59:28,720 --> 02:59:36,720
uh maybe i have a business concern i'll
be benefiting financially or maybe

2159
02:59:33,680 --> 02:59:40,720
because it's my primo who has is getting
the contract or

2160
02:59:38,479 --> 02:59:44,000
or because maybe i live in
in

2161
02:59:41,680 --> 02:59:50,000
tekkorote and so
this road is really going to help me

2162
02:59:46,479 --> 02:59:53,520
uh and the neighbors get in and out
but that doesn't as long as it's been

2163
02:59:51,840 --> 03:00:01,279
disclosed
and everybody knows about it then

2164
02:59:56,640 --> 03:00:01,279
u.s commissioners can go ahead and vote

2165
03:00:02,560 --> 03:00:06,080
on the matter and

2166
03:00:06,160 --> 03:00:11,600
with the knowledge of the potential
conflict we can always through our

2167
03:00:10,479 --> 03:00:15,600
manager
uh

2168
03:00:13,279 --> 03:00:19,439
supervise a little bit closer
uh that

2169
03:00:17,120 --> 03:00:25,040
that advantage or that benefit isn't
being taken advantage of so

2170
03:00:21,680 --> 03:00:27,760
my concern is not high
with regard to

2171
03:00:26,270 --> 03:00:30,560
[Music]
employees

2172
03:00:29,040 --> 03:00:35,520
benefiting
directly or indirectly

2173
03:00:32,720 --> 03:00:39,279
or even commissioners benefiting
directly or indirectly as long as it is

2174
03:00:38,000 --> 03:00:43,760
disclosed
and as commissioners

2175
03:00:41,120 --> 03:00:48,399
once it's disclosed you can vote on a
matter that benefits you as long as you

2176
03:00:45,680 --> 03:00:52,640
disclose it but probably the
the safest way to go

2177
03:00:50,160 --> 03:00:55,920
is disclose the conflict of interest and
then abstain and let the rest of the

2178
03:00:54,240 --> 03:01:01,040
commissioners decide whether it's in the
best interest of the county

2179
03:00:58,160 --> 03:01:05,520
that would be my answer mr chairman
thank you thank you uh okay

2180
03:01:03,600 --> 03:01:10,640

concerns questions mr chair

mr chair and commissioners
we're requesting an extension for the

2226
03:04:29,359 --> 03:04:35,520
last year
of a plumbing contract with jcg plumbing

2227
03:04:34,160 --> 03:04:40,560
we've met with our maintenance
department and they are still satisfied

2228
03:04:38,319 --> 03:04:44,960
with the work that they're doing and the
company has expressed an interest in

2229
03:04:42,640 --> 03:04:49,680
extending the contract as well so we're
seeking approval for the final year

2230
03:04:47,120 --> 03:04:49,680
extension

2231
03:05:02,880 --> 03:05:08,800
oh yeah sir
thank you melinda

2232
03:05:06,640 --> 03:05:14,000
you're welcome
any any other discussion before we ask

2233
03:05:11,279 --> 03:05:14,000
for a motion

2234
03:05:14,240 --> 03:05:21,439
hearing none do we have a motion to
approve the extension of the plumbing

2235
03:05:19,359 --> 03:05:25,200
services contract
recommended by our county manager

2236
03:05:25,920 --> 03:05:32,160
we have a motion contributor here do we
have a second

2237
03:05:29,760 --> 03:05:32,160
exactly

2238
03:05:45,040 --> 03:05:51,200
survey of local government finances to
the u.s

2239
03:05:48,960 --> 03:05:53,920
and we have our
county manager

2240
03:05:54,000 --> 03:06:00,399
mr chair and commissioners each year we
get a survey survey from the euros

2241
03:05:58,880 --> 03:06:05,040
census bureau
to the department of commerce

2242
03:06:02,640 --> 03:06:09,120
asking for some information regarding
our county

2243
03:06:06,160 --> 03:06:13,359
and so we complete it it's voluntary but
it's helpful to the us government in

2244
03:06:11,359 --> 03:06:17,840
order to get this information for i'm
sure decision making purposes

2245
03:06:16,160 --> 03:06:22,399
and i thought that it would be something
that would be interesting for you guys

2246
03:06:19,439 --> 03:06:26,000
to look at as it's probably formatted
differently than other reports that you

2247
03:06:24,319 --> 03:06:30,080
may obtain
like through the dfa quarterly report or

2248
03:06:28,000 --> 03:06:33,040
through our normal budgeting report the
information provided here is on a cash

2249
03:06:32,000 --> 03:06:36,720
basis
so

2250
03:06:34,880 --> 03:06:40,560
it may not directly tie into our
financials which is on a modified

2251
03:06:38,479 --> 03:06:46,240
accrual basis
and it's for informational purposes and

2252
03:06:42,960 --> 03:06:46,240
i stand for any questions

2253
03:06:47,279 --> 03:06:51,439
do we have any questions from the
commission

2254
03:06:54,240 --> 03:06:59,680
no questions
okay

2255
03:06:56,720 --> 03:07:05,920
uh next item
item

2256
03:07:01,279 --> 03:07:09,439
uh 20 resolution 2021 0209 f1
and we have our company manager to

2257
03:07:07,920 --> 03:07:14,080
present
mr chair and commissioners um i met with

2258
03:07:12,000 --> 03:07:18,160
all the departments regarding the
mid-year budget adjustments and it was

2259
03:07:16,160 --> 03:07:21,520
just to get an idea of where we are if
we needed additional resources to

2260
03:07:19,840 --> 03:07:26,399
continue through the year to look at the
revenues

2261
03:07:23,200 --> 03:07:30,240
to see if we have any potential savings
various items like that as far as the

2262
03:07:28,640 --> 03:07:33,760
general fund i'm not sure if you want me
to go through all these particular

2263
03:07:31,600 --> 03:07:37,520
adjustments but in the general fund we
did increase the revenue by a hundred

2264
03:07:35,600 --> 03:07:41,680
and five thousand dollars and it's
primarily tied to an increase in grocery

2265
03:07:40,240 --> 03:07:45,760
taxes through a house bill that was
passed by the state number of years ago

2266
03:07:44,000 --> 03:07:49,200
where we're in the second year of the
two-year funding and we're getting a

2267
03:07:47,760 --> 03:07:52,640
double proportion
there's also some expenditures that we

2268
03:07:50,960 --> 03:07:55,600
decreased in the general fund and again
we're just trying to see if there's any

2269
03:07:54,000 --> 03:07:58,640
potential savings in the event that
there's something that we need

2270
03:07:57,279 --> 03:08:03,359
some of the expenditures that were
reduced in the general fund um are tied

2271
03:08:01,040 --> 03:08:07,680
to the sheriff's office
it's capital outlay monies that we're

2272
03:08:05,200 --> 03:08:11,520
hoping to put in fund 222 which is their
capital outlay grow

2273
03:08:09,200 --> 03:08:15,359
fund instead just to give them extra
time to spend in the event that they

2274
03:08:12,960 --> 03:08:18,960
don't expend it by the end of the fiscal
year

2275
03:08:16,560 --> 03:08:23,840
we have some changes in the road fund an
increase of 70 thousand dollars in

2276
03:08:21,040 --> 03:08:27,120
gasoline tax and this is really just to
kind of give you some information when

2277
03:08:25,439 --> 03:08:30,319
we worked on the
fiscal year

2278
03:08:28,319 --> 03:08:33,760
budget initially
what the state knew because of this

2279
03:08:32,080 --> 03:08:37,840
whole covid situation is that we're not
going to be able to get together and

2280
03:08:35,279 --> 03:08:42,160
really do what we normally do so for
this year they allowed us to make a copy

2281
03:08:39,920 --> 03:08:46,880
of what we did the prior year
and and submit that as the approved

2282
03:08:44,240 --> 03:08:50,560
budget so we tweaked it a little bit and
some of the tweaks were just in case so

2283
03:08:49,040 --> 03:08:54,160
we had decreased some of our gross
receipt tax revenue because we just were

2284
03:08:52,240 --> 03:08:58,479
not sure whether we would
keep at the

2285
03:08:55,840 --> 03:09:01,760
point that we were and we had reduced
our gasoline tax and the gasoline tax

2286
03:09:00,960 --> 03:09:06,000
was
reduced based on what we received

2287
03:09:03,920 --> 03:09:10,000
actually in may because we weren't sure
exactly what the covet impact would be

2288
03:09:08,399 --> 03:09:14,160
so we reduced it trying to be
conservative but now that we look back

2289
03:09:12,319 --> 03:09:17,200
back at it it's kind of gone back to its
normal numbers and so we're increasing

2290
03:09:16,319 --> 03:09:22,080
that
some other changes is i know um gerald

2291
03:09:20,240 --> 03:09:28,080
had mentioned about the match waivers
for the lgrf we received notification

2292
03:09:24,479 --> 03:09:35,200
that we had two match waivers on rlgrfs
so we're reducing the transfer that's

2293
03:09:30,560 --> 03:09:39,279
needed for to fund 202 by 70 000 um
let's see if i wrote it down here

2294
03:09:37,359 --> 03:09:43,120
it's also i have two forms the one that
talks about the changes in words and and

2295
03:09:41,920 --> 03:09:47,040
then this one
where you could see the actual numbers

2296
03:09:45,359 --> 03:09:49,840
but we have a
additional

2297
03:09:48,080 --> 03:09:55,520
revenue that will be coming in from the
state of 70444 which um

2298
03:09:53,760 --> 03:09:58,800
which allowed us to decrease the
transfer that was needed for those algae

2299
03:09:57,439 --> 03:10:03,120
rfs
there's some other changes i talked

2300
03:10:00,560 --> 03:10:08,399
about the fun2282 we had some reduction
of cost in our crusher fund

2301
03:10:06,720 --> 03:10:14,560
we had some adjustments with some of our
dwy grants

2302
03:10:12,080 --> 03:10:19,520
let's see
our fire fund from 403 again is loaning

2303
03:10:18,160 --> 03:10:22,960
the
pecos volunteer fire department 50 000

2304
03:10:22,000 --> 03:10:25,840
so we
are

2305
03:10:23,760 --> 03:10:29,040
adjusting for that transfer and reducing
their expenditures since we're going to

2306
03:10:27,279 --> 03:10:31,760
be money out
we are

2307
03:10:30,399 --> 03:10:36,000
also going to be receiving a waste
isolation um

2308
03:10:33,600 --> 03:10:39,520
to amount to seven thousand dollars and
we've actually already received that

2309
03:10:37,680 --> 03:10:44,160
we'll be reimbursing
the fire marshal for some costs that he

2310
03:10:41,439 --> 03:10:50,160
incurred on behalf of that um
let me just go over some other items

2311
03:10:46,960 --> 03:10:53,680
in our lodges tax again when we went and
we created the budget we weren't really

2312
03:10:52,160 --> 03:10:58,000
sure exactly what was going to happen
with lodging so we had reduced the

2313
03:10:55,840 --> 03:11:02,399
lodging to about 75 of what was normally
received um and looking at the budget

2314
03:11:00,399 --> 03:11:06,880
we're actually going to increase our
request that the budget be increased by

2315
03:11:04,160 --> 03:11:10,000
20762
we're just going to leave that in cash

2316
03:11:08,560 --> 03:11:14,080
right now
our indigent fund i did budget an

2317
03:11:12,080 --> 03:11:17,920
additional 50 000
um

2318
03:11:14,960 --> 03:11:22,640
in anticipation of a negotiation but
that 50 000 is for that and some other

2319
03:11:21,040 --> 03:11:27,120
bills that we might have to be paying in
the near future

2320
03:11:24,479 --> 03:11:31,520
um for our 703 fund that's our detention
center fund

2321
03:11:28,240 --> 03:11:37,680
um we had a small reduction in
income of 15 000

2322
03:11:33,760 --> 03:11:41,840
and that pretty much was tied to
a drop in correction fees and just

2323
03:11:39,439 --> 03:11:47,439
shifts in housing revenues and then we
also had a decrease of expenditures of

2324
03:11:43,840 --> 03:11:50,319
61 842 which is which is tied to a lot
of

2325
03:11:48,160 --> 03:11:55,319
different savings or projected savings
in different various line items

2326
03:11:52,800 --> 03:12:00,399
um we also have our
703-125 which is our rise which is a

2327
03:11:58,399 --> 03:12:04,160
department that was created to account
for a rise grant but we're not going to

2328
03:12:02,640 --> 03:12:08,640
receive this fiscal year so we're
zeroing out that budget

2329
03:12:06,160 --> 03:12:14,000
we also have in our 703 our detention
center budget a department number 130

2330
03:12:11,760 --> 03:12:18,399
that accounts for
the intervention grant and there was an

2331
03:12:16,399 --> 03:12:22,479
increase in revenues and
expenditures tied to additional services

2332
03:12:20,560 --> 03:12:27,439
that were reimbursed for the county and
now we can utilize those funds for

2333
03:12:24,800 --> 03:12:34,240
related activity
there was a change to one of our gross

2334
03:12:30,080 --> 03:12:37,760
receipt tax debt service funds just to
shore it up to what's

2335
03:12:36,240 --> 03:12:41,760
to the gross receipt taxes that we're
expecting

2336
03:12:39,120 --> 03:12:45,840
there are some changes in our housing
budget and those are just based on we

2337
03:12:44,080 --> 03:12:49,200
get on a monthly basis we get some kind
of projections as to how much we're

2338
03:12:47,279 --> 03:12:53,120
going to be receiving in the next few
months so we

2339
03:12:50,479 --> 03:12:56,800
adjusted the budget accordingly and i'll
continue to work with bernalillo county

2340
03:12:55,120 --> 03:13:00,479
on those numbers to monitor them and
make sure that we're okay

2341
03:12:58,880 --> 03:13:05,600
and then finally our
solid waste we're increasing revenues um

2342
03:13:03,359 --> 03:13:10,160
tied to grocery seat taxes by
ten thousand dollars um we have

2343
03:13:07,680 --> 03:13:14,880
increased expenditures of close to forty
five thousand dollars some of which are

2344
03:13:11,840 --> 03:13:19,279
tied to the um
to the fence that i was talking to you

2345
03:13:16,560 --> 03:13:24,240
about for the teculopita area as well as
increased costs and disposal fees or

2346
03:13:21,840 --> 03:13:27,760
disposal fees that we have
which is going to require a 35 000

2347
03:13:26,640 --> 03:13:33,279
transfer
in order to um not let the fund get into

2348
03:13:31,200 --> 03:13:38,960
a deficit cash balance
and those are basically the changes that

2349
03:13:36,479 --> 03:13:42,560
are summarized
can i stand for

2350
03:13:40,479 --> 03:13:46,479
any questions
do you have any questions from the

2351
03:13:43,920 --> 03:13:46,479
commission
