The Cibola County Board of County Commissioners voted unanimously on Feb. 8, 2023, during a special meeting in the Cibola County Commission Chambers to dedicate Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Fund (LATCF) money to county road improvements and to implement wage and salary increases for county employees.
Chairman Daniel Torrez called the meeting to order at 3:00 p.m. and completed roll call; Commissioner Martha Garcia arrived at 3:03 p.m. Commissioner Christine Lowery led the Pledge of Allegiance and Commissioner Robert Windhorst led the opening prayer.
Before formal action, staff filed two reports for the record: a LATCF report and the county salary plan. The transcript notes both reports were "on file" but does not include dollar amounts, schedule specifics or a funding breakdown.
On the first measure, Commissioner Ralph Lucero moved to approve Resolution 23-17, "Dedicating Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Funding to Cibola County Road Improvements." Commissioner Christine Lowery seconded the motion, and the commission voted 5-0 to approve the resolution. The motion was recorded as passed; the transcript does not specify the LATCF amount being dedicated or how the funds will be allocated among projects.
On the second measure, Commissioner Robert Windhorst moved to approve Resolution 23-18, "Implementing Wage and Salary Increases for County Employees." Commissioner Martha Garcia seconded, and the commission approved the resolution by a 5-0 vote. The meeting minutes and transcript do not list the new pay schedule, percentage increases, or the estimated total payroll impact.
Clerk Michelle E. Dominguez announced that the next regular commission meeting will be Feb. 23, 2023, at 5:00 p.m., and that Cibola County offices will be closed Monday, Feb. 20, 2023 in observance of Presidents Day (the transcript uses the phrase "Presidents Holiday"). The special meeting was adjourned at 3:34 p.m.
The certification page accompanying the meeting record indicates the resolutions were recorded as "passed, approved and adopted" on Feb. 23, 2023, and includes signatures from Chairman Daniel Torrez and Clerk Michelle E. Dominguez. Implementation details — including specific LATCF amounts, project lists for road work, and the wage schedule or budget implications — were not specified in the transcript; those details would be expected in the filed reports or subsequent staff actions.
