At the Regular Otero County Commission meeting last night, the Commission voted to adopt Ordinance 10-06. You may read the ordinance at http://www.co.otero.nm.us/
The proposed new Otero County Organizational Chart was met with much discussion and ultimately sent back to the manager for revisions.
The paving for the parking lot at 1104 White Sands Blvd, "County Annex", former Firestone building, is estimated between $90,000 - $138,000.
The Public Safety Access Point - SO Dispatch needs an additional $150,000 by Chairman Moore's guestimate.
The whole shebang can be viewed at Alamogordo Live and it wasn't pretty. http://www.alamogordolive.net/

The Alamogordo Daily News has endorsed Janet White as its pick for Otero County Commission, Dist.1. We will provide a link when available.
We mailed 4,000 postcards to active voters in the district this week. The postcard tells how to vote for Janet White, Independent.
I continue to go door to door and my map is filling in with yellow highlighter on streets I have covered. I will do this until November 1. (I do not knock on doors on Sundays for obvious reasons.)
Don't forget the Otero County Commission Regular Meeting Thursday, Oct. 21. If you cannot attend, you can watch it live or archived on AlamogordoLive. The new FEMA Flood Map Ordinance will again be the subject of a public hearing as well as other agenda items.

Notes from Public Safety Access Point, PSAP, 911 meeting 7/21/10:
The location for PSAP will be 2351 Eddy, the old Pepsi building. The location will share space with Otero County Office of Emergency Services http://www.co.otero.nm.us/OCOES/ocoes.htm
Motorola is the vendor of the equipment for originally four consoles, now probably five to accomodate dispatch from a failed dispatch elsewhere. The power has been moved onto the new location and the tower is up but not completed. Security for the perimeter of the building was discussed; bollards, half-walls, etc. to prevent motorized attack.
Three employees of Motorola were in attendance. They need detailed construction plans to give estimates for additional console. Radio capability for the fifth console is needed in the budget. Chairman Moore is looking to a 11/15/10 completion date.
Special Meeting 7/22/10, Budget and approval of 30-day extension for County Attorney, Dan Bryant, contract. Clarissa McGinn requested that a copy of Mr. Bryant's contract be part of the supporting documents for the next Regular Meeting on August 19 where a vote will be taken to continue the contract for the last year. This contract will be available on the County's website http://66.208.116.79:8080/agenda/otero as we get closer to the Work Session 8/11/10.
Budget discussion in its entirety can be viewed at http://www.alamogordolive.net/
The proposed ordinance generated to comply with new FEMA map can be read at "Proposed Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance 10-06" button.
Please read the Bills List at the same Home Page link above. Advisory - You may regret it if you read these lists of bills paid on a full stomach. There was some discussion between commissioners at the Special Meeting about not being able to determine if the bills paid were budgeted. There is no way to determine this without a copy of the budget in hand and checking each item. How can you stay within budget if you don't compare expenditures to budget? Answer, you can't. Also, it was discussed that bills list be approved before payment rather than after the fact. DUH!
