ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM THE MAYOR:
I would like to announce that the paving on Custer Street has been finished. The stop signs are being worked on; efforts are also being made at the R.O. Plant to bring into compliance the situation concerning the Selenium problem. We also met in a Special Called Meeting with County Judge Linda Rogers and County Commissioners who were generous with their vote to help us in possibly obtaining grants through the EDAP Program. I would like to publicly thank the City Employees for their efforts in the past weeks in accepting and adapting to some new ideas and being very helpful to a Mayor and Council that are becoming more aware in how a city operates, most especially to City Secretary Conchita Torrez and Finance Director Mary Griffin, who have done double and triple time in providing information to the Council by providing information to us that we’ve needed.

Also, a notice has been placed in the paper advertising for a City Administrator. I would also like to recognize the City Council for the work they have done, stepping up and attending Called Meetings, almost eagerly, and sought this job not knowing some of the things it would involve, but, have gone far and beyond the call of duty.
