The department has been accredited since 2012 and is now in the current reaccreditation cycle. \"We set up a static display ... showcasing all of our equipment,\" Thorne said, and singled out the evidence specialist: assessors \"blew through\" the evidence-room portion because the room was \"spotless and maintained.\"

Thorne described the process: assessors completed an on-site tour and will review policies and procedures; additional reviewers will participate by Zoom to verify the department is maintaining roughly 260 accreditation standards over the prior three years. He said he was confident the department would pass the on-site portion.

The chief also announced a new hire: Ginny Stacy will serve as the department's community relations coordinator. Thorne said Stacy will help with recruiting, manage social media and public outreach, coordinate the citizens police academy, organize youth programming, and run events such as National Night Out and the annual Cops and Kids fundraiser. Stacy was not present at the meeting.

Why it matters: Accreditation is a formal, multi-year review of policies and procedures that municipal police departments use to demonstrate compliance with professional standards. The city’s presentation indicates the department cleared a historically challenging evidence-room review and expects virtual follow-ups to complete the reaccreditation process.

Commission comment: Mayor Pro Tem Chris Bryant attended the accreditation presentation and reported being impressed with the level of detail in the assessors' review. Commissioners thanked the department and congratulated staff for the effort.

Ending: The department will await final findings from the assessors' remote review and continue rolling out community engagement initiatives with the newly hired coordinator.","Chief Thorne told commissioners the department is undergoing an on-site reaccreditation review covering 260 standards, praised the evidence-room work and said assessors expect follow-up virtual reviews.

The motion to pursue the Second Street sewer project was made by Commissioner Jones and seconded by Commissioner Zamora; a roll-call vote recorded eight yes votes and no opposition.

Logan O'Brien, the city's new grant coordinator, told the commission the city plans to request $1,000,000 in CDBG funds and would provide the required 10% local match ($100,000) if the project is selected. \"The City of Clovis would like to pursue a $1,000,000 project with certified estimates,\" O'Brien said during the presentation.

Why it matters: City staff and commissioners emphasized the sewer segment is deteriorating and has collapsed in places; the pipe is clay and at risk. Commissioners said Second Street serves low- and moderate-income (LMI) areas, which helps the project qualify under HUD mapping and CDBG rules.

Project specifics and constraints: Staff estimated repairs at about $400 per linear foot; from Grand Avenue Homes to Hull is roughly 2,500 linear feet, producing an approximate $1,000,000 cost estimate. The CDBG program requires projects be shovel-ready by the application deadline (applications are due Aug. 19); staff said site design and certified cost estimates must be completed before that date. The city would use wastewater funds as the local match if the grant is awarded.

Alternatives discussed: Staff presented other candidate projects including sewer repairs on Brady Avenue (an industrial area that would need LMI surveying to qualify), residential street lighting to serve LMI neighborhoods (estimated about 45 lights at roughly $22,000 per light for a $1M request), and renovations to Potter Park Pool (which staff said is not shovel-ready and would require design work before applying).

Commission comments and vote: Commissioners who spoke supported prioritizing the Second Street sewer repairs because of immediate infrastructure failures affecting residences. The motion passed on a roll-call vote: Mayor Pro Tem Chris Bryant (yes); Commissioner Porter (yes); Commissioner Jones (yes); Commissioner Casaus (yes); Commissioner Garza (yes); Commissioner Paula (yes); Commissioner Zamora (yes); Commissioner Tarson (yes).

Next steps: Staff and the grant coordinator will prepare certified cost estimates, finalize design as needed, and submit the CDBG application. If awarded, the city would execute the project and apply the local match as proposed.","The commission voted 8-0 to pursue a $1,000,000 Community Development Block Grant application to repair a failing sanitary sewer on Second Street (Grand Avenue Homes to Hull), with a required 10% local match and an Aug. 19 application requirement for shovel-ready projects.",{"_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},6543170,"Plains Regional Medical Center reports growth, new services and $9 million in facility investments",815,1379000,2194000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3684419-f53377fa7796c569f1f30317a69782af&start=1379&end=2194","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3684419-f53377fa7796c569f1f30317a69782af/thumbnail_1379000.jpg","/articles/6543170/Clovis/Curry-County/New-Mexico/Plains-Regional-Medical-Center-reports-growth-new-services-and-9-million-in-facility-investments","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6543170-3dd19a853cbb585fdf24ee481ad7c6f3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771187577&Signature=Zh5ueW7yLmCu7nZWpuGxycVjBai2-iaoHvFp3uRicNyr4OBEm1Rp5i8CSNIMzvy~l9XHBuGpjriFvosCGirzCkzMRTF4CMUQYHlX3SZGKMrlmu6XHqVwrsGMiVGzNm868QtKr7NJyZkICky7qEOAvXPD2lIkuBusSlIfwlXHS142aTt6-9WeoR-Jj8v527FTdDz4RZs3VXB1Vd8DhcnejR6R1T~iLR0uUP4YbdRYNkvmko0ADXiPEctxhMyW~fz2AmIwFdahY2LuTPShp2Q9w~6eHtAgYBMnUWgfcLniQa~lkEyZltDfW3r1-ORMBQkItZRl30RaSQU2V-Plbd0S-A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Bill Priest, chief executive officer of Plains Regional Medical Center, told the Clovis City Commission that the hospital has expanded providers and services, opened a new cath lab and cardiac program, and is investing in new MRI and OB/GYN facilities the hospital expects to open in September. \"Our ER is very, very busy for a community our size,\" Priest said, adding that the hospital handled roughly 28,000–29,000 emergency department visits this year.

The update outlined recent and planned additions: the hospital has grown from about 24 providers to roughly 45–50; added behavioral-health providers including psychiatrists and a psychologist; launched interventional cardiology and performed 56 cath lab cases so far; and expanded oncology, gastroenterology, orthopedics and other specialties. Priest said Plains Regional anticipates about 10,700 patient days and roughly 154,000 clinic visits for the year. He also said births increased from about 733 in 2024 and the hospital now projects closer to 780–800 births in 2025.

Why it matters: The presentation signals an increase in local access to specialty care — particularly interventional cardiology and radiation oncology — that hospital leaders said are uncommon for communities the size of Clovis. Priest said those services reduce the need for patients to travel to Albuquerque for time-sensitive care: \"time is muscle,\" he told the commission when describing the cath lab program.

Details and context: Priest listed members of the administrative and clinical team and said the hospital will add or relocate physical space this year: a new MRI suite on the north end of the hospital (a roughly $4,000,000 project) and an expanded OB/GYN clinic that will grow from nine exam rooms to 24 (a roughly $5,000,000 project), both slated to open in September. The hospital plans an open house for those facilities on Oct. 26.

Priest also described operational challenges and improvements: surgery volumes were slightly down compared with 2024 but expected to recover later in the year; the hospital is supplementing permanent staff with locum clinicians in obstetrics and has added certified nurse midwives; and Plains Regional is launching cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation programs. He said patient experience scores still need work but that leaders are addressing them.

Commission reaction: Commissioners asked about access to timely OB/GYN care after Plains Regional absorbed patients when another women's medical center closed. Priest said current patients are receiving timely appointments, the hospital is nearly fully staffed for obstetrics and midwifery and additional hires are imminent. Commissioners also asked whether high ER use reflected inadequate outpatient access; Priest said many patients use the ED as primary care and that the hospital and community face a broader trend of ED reliance.

What's next: The hospital will continue recruiting providers, complete the MRI and OB/GYN construction projects this fall, and hold the planned open house. Priest invited commissioners and the public to hospital events including the Derby Day community event at the Curry County Events Center.

Ending: Commissioners thanked Priest for the update and had no formal action tied to the presentation.","Hospital CEO Bill Priest told the Clovis City Commission the facility has expanded services and staff, is seeing unusually high ER use, and is investing about $4 million in a new MRI suite and $5 million in expanded OB/GYN space opening this fall.","actionData","errors"]
