For the Naha Low Crossing replacement (Resolution 2025-038) staff read a total application amount of $1,000,300, with $1,000,235 indicated as coming from the state and a county match described in the record as $65,000. The staff presenter said the application had advanced through the first stage and would be presented at the next NRPO meeting.

For Valverde Road improvements (Resolution 2025-039) staff described the route as the road that provides access to the new national cemetery near Angel Fire and said the total project cost would be $270,000 with a local match of $13,500 and the state covering the remainder (reported in the record as $256,500). The board approved forwarding the application and presentation to the NRPO meeting scheduled for May 14.

Commissioners also discussed a potential donation of county-owned land in Cimarron for an electric vehicle charging station; the discussion was preliminary and the board asked the county attorney to review possible complications before any transfer. Separately, commissioners who participated in a recent bridge tour asked for photographic documentation, geotechnical review recommendations and a prioritized assessment of what each bridge will need to avoid future failures. The commission requested the road department provide pictures, location names, and evaluations for each bridge inspected.

Ending: Road and grants staff will submit the NRPO application materials and provide the requested bridge assessments and project updates at future meetings.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Regular Commission Meeting 4-8-2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board approved submissions for the Naha Low Crossing and Valverde Road improvement grants with county match commitments, and commissioners asked staff to provide photos and evaluations of bridges after a recent tour.","taxTitle","Colfax County, New Mexico","taxId",70187,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6085269,"County manager briefs commissioners on server-room issues, manager recruitment and upcoming budget workshop",20,2478000,2498000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2903976-1320238eb3204cea572ecd0da1f355af&start=2478&end=2498","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2903976-1320238eb3204cea572ecd0da1f355af/thumbnail_2478000.jpg","/articles/6085269/Colfax-County/New-Mexico/County-manager-briefs-commissioners-on-server-room-issues-manager-recruitment-and-upcoming-budget-workshop","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6085269-aaef3f9e1e3310d7c5a8cf7fe36cb85b/orig.mp4?Expires=1773085152&Signature=BNMC0dH7rYy1Kzm40pLS~VgQ0HWTwB7Vc7wehrLsxmYjuCqayOMZEXx2kV8oc-~MXIKg7ui4Mb8s9nU6JZde9HnpV~1m4G-nLO~uSZ7JeJrgGintwVsFqKi4GtOrk6rCeJLsRKIRwKRhMrVcfik-th2-UQyH9QOe8a3eAf4e0uIeWq-KzRrqm6z-Y-ZMcgdlUi2tq-xGFn6rZrwd6h6hgV1KWKweMkIh0Wq~~LgXC9pR70mgihnPiPPk8JTiDyLlV8UF426WTpnIc3tXeiSLLCgzw~oA29M9rX05DA1AafFRvpZtkB8l64dNkVSMMtrzIaeabvFGSc3TAC56boNCFQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Colfax County manager told the Board of Commissioners the newly installed Triadic server is experiencing problems that prevented generation of some routine reports and that the current server closet — located near the assessor’s office — lacks cooling and has dust concerns. The manager said Triadic recommended either installing a separate air-conditioning unit or relocating the server to the probate office, and IT and maintenance staff agreed a move to the probate office would ease cooling and dust control and make a floor-level AC installation simpler.

The manager said staff will show commissioners the server-room layout and pursue the relocation option, if practicable. He also announced a county budget workshop for department heads on April 14 at noon in the commission chambers; department heads will receive their budget materials in advance and the session will be recorded for those unable to attend.

The manager reported the county has received roughly five applications to date for the county manager position and will post recruitment advertising in the Albuquerque Journal and through national county associations. He said the county received unexpected state radio-system funding (the exact dollar figure was discussed but remained under review in the record) and that staff are working on a proposed lease with the Alice Moore Ranch for use of a low-water crossing easement.

Ending: The manager asked commissioners how long to leave the county manager recruitment open and recommended a soft handover process for the incoming manager to minimize operational disruption; commissioners asked for copies of applications and requested photo and condition assessments for bridges following a recent site tour.","The county manager reported Triadic server problems linked to a poorly cooled server closet, recommended moving the server to the probate office or adding cooling, announced a budget workshop on April 14, and summarized county manager recruitment and other administrative updates.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6085273,"Detention center gets pay increase to recruit registered nurse; commissioners cite accreditation requirement",163,1484000,1647000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2903976-1320238eb3204cea572ecd0da1f355af&start=1484&end=1647","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2903976-1320238eb3204cea572ecd0da1f355af/thumbnail_1484000.jpg","/articles/6085273/Colfax-County/New-Mexico/Detention-center-gets-pay-increase-to-recruit-registered-nurse-commissioners-cite-accreditation-requirement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6085273-8de6d460ddb2b630e2fac8bf9cc4068b/orig.mp4?Expires=1773085152&Signature=BXKgcE3HPNBbvRRrAgPSz9cyJ16aOE5LtfBfOcAc5rF~h0EW7G-8uiX3KPmzfMplUTvawRUiLDV-imRwlE-XrESN4UH1LjDljb7AYE1ydZTM6r04dHGWqoC-sLZBkywZkL~fqDQXifZG7U6jsVA6YKZUwVffuwrfTLJco5ccDt8yXvyrXl7mk-JdY~768d-76QTBJwag80aPOZKla86WDKwOREXRxYN3JYPr8aa2Cg2KUzooJGgPRJVOVezsKoavQoKX5y1XBtwJ2gbk7f~GWny83-UeWh87BDzxcXHLcxE97TLFvdv21ckbz4oaY7iyJtlomHirFn~oY4IRYXI22A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Colfax County commissioners approved a $2-per-hour salary increase to the posted hire rate for a registered nurse at the Vijom Maldonado Detention Center (VMDC) to improve recruitment.

Deputy Warden Vijom Maldonado told the commission she has actively recruited for about four weeks and had only one applicant. Maldonado said the facility’s starting posted pay was $40 per hour; the applicant reported making $45 per hour in her current charge-nurse role and requested at least a $2-per-hour raise. Maldonado told commissioners that “with accreditation, we have to have her on-site 3 days a week. That's minimal.”

Commissioners discussed recruitment options and local starting pay for new graduates; one commissioner said a nearby hospital system’s entry-level nurse pay was $32.50 per hour, but commissioners emphasized the difficulty of placing recent graduates into corrections work. A motion to increase the posted hire rate by $2 per hour passed by roll call; commissioners recorded yes votes and directed VMDC and human resources to proceed with recruitment and offer the position at the adjusted rate.

Ending: Staff said the RN would be full time (40 hours) and would be on call when off duty to provide emergency coverage; HR and VMDC will report back when recruitment produces a hire.","The board approved a $2-per-hour salary adjustment to hire a registered nurse for Vijom Maldonado Detention Center so the facility can meet accreditation requirements that an RN be on-site at least three days per week.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6085278,"Finance director reports $3.9 million Tiger grant reimbursement; county awaiting updated Triadic reports",1904,755000,2659000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2903976-1320238eb3204cea572ecd0da1f355af&start=755&end=2659","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2903976-1320238eb3204cea572ecd0da1f355af/thumbnail_755000.jpg","/articles/6085278/Colfax-County/New-Mexico/Finance-director-reports-39-million-Tiger-grant-reimbursement-county-awaiting-updated-Triadic-reports","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6085278-9f1b32f48f5e2da375ae926273d2842e/orig.mp4?Expires=1773085152&Signature=A5yhlfmxb-8B6GQcIMBk104uOiITMQ4av0rJeWPaYUNakvnD5jxmaH2kztKxTjiUFSnRwEzKnBgy~10lxJuAKBcOTWubr3~unqXcJ~J8O403nmqA3VlfIznOCJLkzBaXg7LNVKKqkXUcHEkucfMfbyV~dULBV9LSCUUZZZ2Ncso1lG8ctmAy8e6T~B2mEnfjHnfoX0~ofsrARIZWXtXo3AGfWK~z464ZD-iNT7LSsl2aiytG6LMKs9sz5qw3xvrQpvBBda-qbekuR~yER6~HLEsd~GCUdPgtMG-Z7zcNMmjEo-EcDitC34KkcJVBgWIirqmBwtnvIaYg~nl8~RoU-g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Colfax County Finance Director Leroy Sandoval reported to the Board of Commissioners that the county’s final reimbursement for the Tiger grant was marked as paid “yesterday” and that the amount was $3,900,000.

Sandoval said the county has submitted first- and second-quarter reporting to LGBMS and that the first quarter was approved by DFA while the second quarter remained in DFA’s approval queue. He told the commission staff have prepared a three-year trend comparison of revenues and expenses by department and are scheduling training for department heads and elected officials to explain the budgeting and reporting process.

Sandoval and county IT staff told commissioners they cannot generate a more recent budget report because the county’s newly installed Triadic server is failing to produce some reports; that problem prompted the commission to agree to postpone agenda items 8 and 9. The county manager later said the server room housing the device lacks cooling and has dust issues; staff recommended either installing an air-conditioning unit or relocating the server to the probate office to protect equipment and backups.

On grants, staff said the senior center’s construction phase is progressing after a second notice of obligation was approved by DFA and procurement actions were completed. Staff also reported progress on drawing down state reimbursements for airport apron and hangar work and said the county expects to purchase three new vehicles pending a budget transfer at the next meeting. The manager said the county is awaiting an MOU from the village of Angel Fire for an advertising grant to support commercial air service.

Ending: Finance staff will provide updated reports to the commission after resolving Triadic server issues and will report further on grant drawdowns and procurement actions at future meetings.","Finance director told the commissioners that the county’s final Tiger grant reimbursement was marked paid for $3,900,000; staff submitted first- and second-quarter reports to DFA/LGBMS but Triadic server issues are preventing more recent report generation.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6085283,"Colfax County commissioners approve multiple budget transfers, grants applications and personnel motions",381,523000,904000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2903976-1320238eb3204cea572ecd0da1f355af&start=523&end=904","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2903976-1320238eb3204cea572ecd0da1f355af/thumbnail_523000.jpg","/articles/6085283/Colfax-County/New-Mexico/Colfax-County-commissioners-approve-multiple-budget-transfers-grants-applications-and-personnel-motions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6085283-1a9aa4e4665a6823e3ddba32a4948385/orig.mp4?Expires=1773085152&Signature=nFz4P4SPxwJVmqml8pDHCjAASNoEeB4s84KLVCBfNuftXAij1Y35o4wWpJvLt1ucYTDsvE6ofjND9KizBNu0Fju3WyHYC3e622RZmAINq6PxCjWG0fP2Uxa9SllRjlECQ03RF~afvgt133unLOvQo6WPft4OeRDWgmj2E5xt7OK6pcCoDV9UNqv54Yql65DAWkGy3OivneQlpP2CkGG97HUu8HDnUAltBJE3CBr0xuxARzVKnR0PqYuRCCupeOXjk4v5Ll2aml~I2S9xEDBNTnbo84HH9nuoXPwtDiwCUI-t9ePO6HVEYtgZhVhmjUs3M5Y52ZLsoKAhnP4F2IIFOg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Colfax County commissioners on April 2025 approved a series of resolutions and motions covering budget adjustments, grant match commitments for local road projects, personnel actions in the treasurer’s and detention offices, and a request to seek matching funds from the Administrative Office of the Courts for sheriff’s office paving and expansion.

The board voted unanimously to postpone agenda items 8 and 9 to the next meeting because staff could not generate the requested reports from the new Triadic server. Commissioners Kern, Trujillo and Chairman Tatum voted yes on the procedural motion.

The board then approved routine minutes for March 25, 2025, and moved through a set of formal resolutions and motions by roll call. Key formal outcomes:

- Resolution 2025-036 (transfer, various funds): Approved. Motion and roll call recorded; specific transfer amounts were discussed by staff but the transcript did not specify all line-item dollar values. (See provenance below.)

- Resolution 2025-037 (budget adjustments, various funds): Approved. The resolution included multiple fund adjustments across road funds, the Philmont Wildfire Suppression Fund, general fund overtime for the detention center, revenue bond debt service, and reclassifications within the corrections/detention budget. Noted line items in the transcript: temporary positions $24,000; maintenance of vehicles $20,000; supplies $34,000; inventory $30,000; capital outlay vehicles $50,000; detention overtime $50,000; janitorial supplies +$6,000; commissary +$25,000; medical care +$67,000; inmate housing off-site −$98,000. The roll call was unanimous.

- Resolution 2025-038 (LGTPF/Project match commitment, Naha Low Crossing replacement application): Approved. The application totals $1,000,300 as read into the record; the transcript states $1,000,235 would come from the state and said the county match would be $65,000. Commissioners approved the resolution to proceed with the application.

- Resolution 2025-039 (LGDPF/Project match commitment, Valverde Road improvements): Approved. The project total was stated as $270,000 with a local match of $13,500; the remainder (reported in the record as $256,500) would come from the state. The board approved forwarding the application.

- VMDC (Vijom Maldonado Detention Center) salary adjustment to hire a registered nurse: Approved. The detention center requested a $2-per-hour increase to the posted hire rate to recruit an experienced registered nurse; the motion to increase the pay rate passed by roll call.

- Treasurer’s office vacancy: Approved. The board authorized the treasurer’s office to advertise and fill a departing staff position to support ongoing tax-collection work.

- Claim of exemption No. 7 (William Serrazio): Approved. The county attorney reviewed the claim and staff recommended approval; the board adopted the recommendation by roll call.

- Request to the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) for matching funds to assist with paving, striping and a facility expansion plan for the sheriff’s office: Approved. The board voted to ask the AOC for matching funds and discussed the longer-term facility plan and feasibility steps.

Each of the votes listed above was approved by roll call with the commissioners present recorded as voting in the affirmative in the transcript segments cited below.

Ending: The board closed its regular business after discussion of the manager’s items and road/bridge reviews and then adjourned.","At its April meeting, the Colfax County Board of Commissioners approved several resolutions and motions including budget adjustments, grant match commitments for two road projects, a pay increase to recruit a registered nurse for the county detention center and authorization for two office actions.","actionData","errors"]
