Fire Chief John Montoya asked the Board for a letter allowing him to purchase a Fire Truck from Otero County. The approval was given sometime back and was paid from the State Fire Fund money. The State Fire Marshall informed Mr. Montoya that they should have been informed before the purchase. Fire Chief Montoya is trying to clear things up before the end of the fiscal year.
Mr. Chris Masters from HELP New Mexico came before the board presenting them with a plan for the remodeling of the community center building. Mr. Masters asked if HELP New Mexico could partially move in the building in April until the Senior Center gets their new building built. The response was that the Board would have to meet with Prestina Chavez the Senior Center Director because they did not know what regulations they had and did not want to jeopardize the Seniors funding. Trustee Tyler asked if the restrooms would have to be changed to accommodate to federal standards. Mr. Masters said for the time being, two stalls, one in the girls and one in the boys restrooms would have to be redone for small children.
At 7:05 P. M. Trustee Thomas McKean moved to adjourn.
