A New Mexico Dept of Transportation (NMDOT) instructional video as to ‘how to drive round abouts’ is being cablecast by Channel 22, and is on their web site, http://www.taostv.org.
This also links to more detailed information about this new road element, so to be complete on Paseo del Canon. Contact PIO Karyn Lujan for more information, email above.
No Taos County quorum present (two Commissioners only); Town did have quorum (five in attendance)- so some definitive actions postponed for quorum reasons.
Facilities:
1) Town and County agreed to take the ’swap’ of the County’s Old County Courthouse on Taos Plaza, and Town’s Visitor Center, off the table as a proposal.
2) Both also agreed to continue to try and jointly figure out how best to help the County with ‘housing’ for their Planning Staff during the new County Judicial Complex’s construction.
3) The Town’s 5 acres out near the Taos Regional Landfill is being provided to the County without charge in order to accommodate their need for an expanded Solid Waste Facility, including operation of an expanded recycling collection facility, hopefully to include plastics recycling/storage. Property is to be used by the County for these purposes or it will revert back to the Town.
4) The Town will submit a separate proposal, not linked to any swap, to potentially partner with the County to rehabilitate the Old County Courthouse into a redone community cultural center — with state/federal funding to be leveraged. Once the County gets this separate proposal, they will react to it and determine how/if to move forward jointly.
Animal Shelter: Potential litigation? Discussion of potential Executive Session (declined).
Joint open meeting discussion focused on displeasure with what’s been heard about Animal Shelter Board’s treatment of staff (alleged ‘verbal abuse’ referenced), other operational issues. Town/County pay ‘into’ this nonprofit organization for running of the Shelter (Town’s contribution around $90,000 a year), and so tangentially involved in such potential legal issues — and community obviously impacted. Town Mayor/Council suggested directing Town Management to conduct a ‘climate assessment’ of Shelter and its Board and empower staff to cause a professional evaluation to be completed — coming back to report out and recommend potential changes/actions. One of the immediate recommendations is to have the Town appoint a specific staff liaison to interface with the Shelter and its Board on an ongoing basis.
