Multiple outside agency funding motions fail after no second in Cibola County meeting

During consideration of Resolution 2023-38 (Outside Agency Requests) at the July 27 meeting, several motions to allocate funding to outside agencies were moved but not seconded and therefore failed to pass.

Commissioner Ralph Lucero moved funding for the Cibola Arts Council and Commissioner Christine Lowery moved funding for the CCEDF, El Morro Area Arts Council, and Grants Rodeo Association at various points in the discussion; the transcript records that none of those motions received a second. A separate motion for Mainstreet received no motion on the record. A motion by Commissioner Lowery to fund the Ramah Navajo School Board, Inc. for rodeo grounds likewise received no second. The transcript notes Items 1'6 did not pass.

The lack of seconds means the board took no formal action on those outside agency funding requests at this meeting; no vote tallies are recorded because the motions did not advance to a formal vote.
