Detention leadership said the facility had two officer openings, with interviews scheduled within two weeks and more than 15 applicants on file following a recent pay‑rate adjustment. In July 2025 the facility recorded 139 intakes, 124 releases and an average daily population of 89; as of Aug. 2025 the daily population was reported at 105 detainees (83 males and 22 females). The facility’s operational housing capacity described in the presentation was 95 long‑term beds (74 male; 21 female), not counting short-term booking or observation areas.

Facility work completed includes a shower renovation that staff said is signed off and operational. The detention center reported plans to start a laundry room remodel and purchase new laundry equipment following budget approval. Staff also said they have quotes for enclosing the mail-control area and will pursue that project to increase safety for officers.

Programs highlighted included the RISE recovery program (28 participants in July, with 12 in custody and 16 in the community) and a planned “Hustle 2” program for detainees unable to attend in-person programming; Hustle 2 can be delivered on tablets or paper. The facility said it will pilot a quarterly “Officer of the Quarter” recognition and that it participated in the Johns Hopkins University 'MomCare' pilot on opioid use disorder in pregnancy; the detention center will host Johns Hopkins for a site visit on Sept. 15.

Detention staff asked the commission to watch daily population trends because the facility becomes uncomfortable and stretched as counts exceed 100, and said they will continue hiring and monitor trends into late 2025.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","GCC 2025-08-12 Work Session","oneSentenceSummary","Detention leaders reported two vacancies with interviews scheduled, an Aug. 2025 population of 105 detainees and completion of a shower renovation, while outlining laundry upgrades and behavioral-health programming including RISE and the MomCare pilot.","taxTitle","Grant County, New Mexico","taxId",67089,"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},6139704,"Commission hears requests to apply for NRCS EWP funds, buy repeaters and pick a disaster-recovery contractor",261,4895000,5156000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5580635-ca4bb5fdc28fbe6049ab4f743a21f0ab&start=4895&end=5156","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5580635-ca4bb5fdc28fbe6049ab4f743a21f0ab/thumbnail_4895000.jpg","/articles/6139704/Grant-County/New-Mexico/Commission-hears-requests-to-apply-for-NRCS-EWP-funds-buy-repeaters-and-pick-a-disaster-recovery-contractor","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6139704-8572025222cb17fc795f26e93943cc36/orig.mp4?Expires=1770500734&Signature=ZmzPfLnBVidinKzzTI7CqE7-SrSvX83Ub6UOT47YHc3BPh~9M4FTN~9r6uC4mITuET56NmExN-hILgRQpmuK4CwFPAWE1PKb5tg51jDuwwa3RQk2gH~0H1-XjMuMl4WgFR5noGOm4XQrhM8bCUTrMN3dKUw~RdDsTLh5QrvSGGh2l6OxDdcTPe0lL0t45Kbxm6kOufsgOryg358Qp4z0U84aAwFANMdcTtQlB6vuXwkOUSOx-45tHKbtlXTEObNHSa7D~gdArBiEkifTaXvEzZf0q-gQR8G6wTIArzo8iyXaWHs3MSDBzDmB~PsVwAkPJfciakK~Q2C3EBiUivCqgQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Grant County staff asked the Board of Commissioners to authorize steps to prepare for flood and recovery work tied to the Trout Fire burn scar and other emergency needs during the Aug. 12 work session.

County Manager Webb recommended submitting an initial application to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to secure Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) technical assistance and funding for identified small projects in burn‑impacted drainages. Webb said the county must apply now to preserve eligibility if heavy rains later reveal more damage; the county could add funds to the agreement later if additional projects emerge. He noted the EWP program requires a 25 percent non‑federal match and said state funds used in a prior EWP could again be applied for the local match.

The commissioners also reviewed an estimate from Advanced Communication to install repeaters and antennas to improve radio coverage into Cliff (transcript: “Clefido”) for the Cliff Volunteer Fire Department. Staff asked the commission to consider allocating $69,376 from the county fire fund to install repeaters on Brushy Mountain that would reach an existing tower in Cliff and fill a known communications gap for law enforcement, EMS and fire responders in that area; no formal vote was recorded in the work session.

On disaster contracting, staff summarized a recently completed RFP (RFP 26‑01) for an on‑call disaster recovery contractor to support Emergency Watershed Protection and major post‑disaster work. The scoring panel recommended a contract award to King Industries/DRC (transcript referenced King and DRC), citing timeliness and more favorable rates compared with state contract options. Staff said EWP technical-assistance and EWP construction funds would pay for contractor services in the event those federal programs are activated and that county action would reduce reliance on higher‑cost state contracts.

Emergency Management Director Scott reported a separate but related win: FEMA approved the county’s hazard mitigation plan on Aug. 8, making jurisdictions eligible for hazard‑mitigation funding for five years. Scott said the community wildfire protection plan contract with H2O Partners was executed and a kickoff meeting would follow, and that multiple grant applications (generators for critical facilities, public warning software extension and radio interfaces for incident commanders) had been submitted or were moving through procurement.

No formal recorded commission votes on the EWP application, repeater allocation or the RFP recommendation are shown in the work-session transcript; staff said they would bring related agreements or appropriations to a regular meeting for formal action.","County staff recommended submitting an NRCS Emergency Watershed Protection application tied to the Trout Fire burn scar, asked commissioners to consider a $69,376 communications repeater install for a volunteer fire district, and recommended awarding an on-call disaster recovery contract after an RFP process.",{"_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},6139709,"County updates rural addressing database, aims to meet NextGen 911 data standards",2574,76000,2650000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5580635-ca4bb5fdc28fbe6049ab4f743a21f0ab&start=76&end=2650","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5580635-ca4bb5fdc28fbe6049ab4f743a21f0ab/thumbnail_76000.jpg","/articles/6139709/Grant-County/New-Mexico/County-updates-rural-addressing-database-aims-to-meet-NextGen-911-data-standards","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6139709-44164127a804bca4c7d337924c42589b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770500734&Signature=ROhreNnIlLVym8Xw7w65PfpT1YU8IjmPW3flNJR9Di8g6cybRWAT8uud4G7slVvQiXj8c0uTepeeBiG2gsy2pJpeD5prUvOZoifJ1wLJDkN~23oDhbVpXMOw4svB5hbVFmGlf3H0TsfHxIygWBtrH3oFVmdgdQD66vQntwBijneb0cQvKHn4ft0Rl-ji4-sMf4K1NwG9Lv4c6Px~y3DfUp~SEexTAFJvihpfZ4RA6rjFOgf8okfGnfYmVp6zfZRZGW3ZpIdKbn55-c9rodBNLHaU69X~WEMvPkovpRfGrxuj3vZy3rD1vSY-943rhGWuB4m25E~k5WOBGeTt1zDs4g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Peter Hurley, the county’s rural addressing coordinator, told the Grant County Board of Commissioners on Aug. 12 that he has spent the past six months cleaning and restructuring the county’s GIS address-point and street-centerline database to prepare for a transition from the legacy 9‑1‑1 system to NextGen 9‑1‑1. Hurley said the work includes correcting database errors the state flags, reconciling the county GIS with a legacy E‑911 dataset maintained by a private vendor, and creating public-facing online maps that county offices and residents can use.

Hurley said the county’s address-point match rate with legacy E‑911 records rose from well below current levels to above 70 percent, and that street-centerline exact-match rates are at about 55–57 percent. He said the county’s target is roughly a 98 percent match rate for both datasets and that, “in a couple of months, we should be there” pending continued cleanup. Hurley warned that some complex road layouts present persistent problems; he used Shasta Street as an example, showing overlapping centerline ranges, out‑of‑sequence address numbers and parity (odd/even) errors that can require readdressing to resolve.

County staff and commissioners discussed the implications for emergency response. Hurley and Planning Director Joseph (last name given in the transcript as Joe) said accurate address-point and centerline data are essential for routing emergency calls correctly, and Jesus Palacio, director of dispatch, was cited by Hurley as having reported real-world response problems in places like Shasta Street. Hurley explained that some errors must be fixed in both the county GIS and the legacy E‑911 dataset and that he directly coordinates corrections with the telecommunications vendor and the state.

Commissioners pressed staff about the legal and practical consequences of readdressing. Commissioner Fluss referenced a constituent’s concern and cited an ordinance code number (97‑02‑13‑a) that the county still uses. Hurley and Joseph said that the ordinance dates to 1997, contains language the county staff find confusing, and that the county can refuse or require a hearing for some renaming requests; they emphasized a need to reconcile the ordinance with current state law and enforcement practices. Joseph told the commission staff would prepare a draft ordinance for review and hoped to return with a proposed amendment in about 60 days.

Hurley also showed mapping products he creates for county projects, including parcel ownership maps, a LIDAR-derived hillshade and three‑dimensional road model used by engineers on the CPAR Road/Great Divide Wind Farm corridor, and examples of internal and public web maps that display parcels, address points and street segments with pop-up parcel metadata. He said the county does not perform legal property boundary surveys — survey work is typically supplied to the assessor by licensed surveyors — and that the county would contract licensed surveyors when a legal right-of-way or boundary question requires it.

Commissioners and county staff agreed the ordinance needs updating to avoid unintended address changes for residents while preserving public-safety benefits of clearly identified roads. Joseph said the county will prioritize an ordinance revision to align with current statute and enforcement ability and return to the commission with a draft.","Grant County’s new rural addressing coordinator described six months of work to correct address-point and street-centerline errors, improve GIS data matches with legacy E‑911 records and prepare for a transition to NextGen 911; commissioners asked staff to draft updates to the county’s 1997 rural addressing ordinance.",{"_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},6139689,"Road department prioritizing emergency repairs after heavy rains; routine maintenance delayed",304,4039000,4343000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5580635-ca4bb5fdc28fbe6049ab4f743a21f0ab&start=4039&end=4343","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5580635-ca4bb5fdc28fbe6049ab4f743a21f0ab/thumbnail_4039000.jpg","/articles/6139689/Grant-County/New-Mexico/Road-department-prioritizing-emergency-repairs-after-heavy-rains-routine-maintenance-delayed","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6139689-5a5621530fd0b1be3b659943b8b2f540/orig.mp4?Expires=1770500734&Signature=KIZGvASJjDAnVp7VmSyw46cVFNWEy0HuWKfFNSBrcD6WeITjQ0uR212KW8Wvl1nirGmSg0Wf5wdUWY6J63BU~yOH560YD7MLCTs-ofy-pCQ-JBWFEt6TdTwu30gossCUDNQZTFqgBU~EgSyNDQE4sm-l~mH7icp8BY3gJ~XciNsuVzvTSeG8xpMoSGYMJrsjIegmaCwurU1Bal6qtCR6oS9x~egnuptE7PaiqVsTkCNak4VfnInJOhMrkzY4y2EfIwV~0pn40EfSG-N903YBojA9X~iS-S1Cdau8LzpmzSPCuj8hwozDnyVP2xhVtO~URzvGNhGOCxSCONY2MLHlIQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Grant County Road Department staff told commissioners on Aug. 12 that heavy rains over the past month have forced crews into emergency responses that have reduced capacity for scheduled maintenance projects.

Road Director Mike (surname not given) said crews prioritized public-safety repairs, including clearing debris from culverts and arroyos, replacing a collapsed culvert on Furo Road that required after‑hours work, repairing a 20‑foot‑deep washout on Mahogany near Rosebudell and stabilizing a low‑water crossing at Loma Verde with concrete to prevent an approach failure. He said personnel have been called out on weekends and nights to make roads passable and that the emergency work has delayed chip‑seal and other capital projects.

Mike described use of borrowed or rented equipment — for example, a rented dozer to clear upstream debris — and showed photos of large trees removed from roadways. He said the department is hiring and training new equipment operators, has started mowing in Ridge Road and San Lorenzo areas, and is preparing to move to scheduled special projects once paperwork and materials arrive.

Commissioners thanked road crews for rapid emergency responses and photos demonstrating work progress. Mike asked for patience from constituents while crews shift between emergency repairs and routine maintenance.","The county road department described extensive post‑storm work — culvert replacements, washed-out crossings and debris removal — that has diverted crews from routine maintenance and delayed scheduled projects; commissioners praised crews for weekend and after-hours responses.",{"_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},6139694,"Airport parking grant and incoming ARFF truck highlighted in county reports",1184,2516000,3700000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5580635-ca4bb5fdc28fbe6049ab4f743a21f0ab&start=2516&end=3700","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5580635-ca4bb5fdc28fbe6049ab4f743a21f0ab/thumbnail_2516000.jpg","/articles/6139694/Grant-County/New-Mexico/Airport-parking-grant-and-incoming-ARFF-truck-highlighted-in-county-reports","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6139694-03f9022b12cff7626c05a3bf22f11601/orig.mp4?Expires=1770500735&Signature=fgCQthmW3Hj18UCY3Ks1jx2dvak7QX-BRSgBe5rFB~IrWPJ3ejKfdt7HYxg~h~2PD1su8F1TOdq-EkNpO3KNSpuyP3gZ15p1uEGEAQPvqxySQRKfxtp-GrBgf9Tf2OpSABfs1RO~X5ZK2pTmJpEKTx1oV8YGCDKEeqNY40H2ZAb13EDMexXZVhmzBnBT~7aJRpyvA5J0Vx3LwAUkaep8zcBuhk9zQvJAZS6kcazWyl6dIBC1J7zaafNS0qzM2kWYhMj~oUH1TBj4VGzk-qzUj5pN8LbhUVktXzjTU6J3ozF0YjUozZV3DJSg8MbTXwfYxwmYHrCUW181-k7yrJvAoA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Rebecca (given in transcript as the airport representative) updated the commission that the county plans to use a capital outlay grant to rebuild the airport parking lot, adding about 90 spaces, improving drainage and installing lighting to address longstanding flood and safety issues. She said the county plans to bid the parking work in October with phased construction in spring to avoid the holiday season.

Rebecca also said the Recreational Aviation Foundation will hold a fall conference in October in town, with roughly 35 planes anticipated and local economic benefits to downtown businesses.

County Fire Chief Roger Groves said his office is equipping an aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF) truck for the airport. He reported supply-chain delays for some equipment but said the ARFF truck should be operational and in service soon. Groves also summarized reimbursements for volunteer fire departments tied to the Trout Fire response, saying departments will receive approximately $120,772.55 in collective truck reimbursements, with the county receiving a defined daily rate for command vehicle use during the multi‑day response.

The airport-related capital outlay agreement (A25‑18) for $220,000 was listed on the regular agenda as a funding item to supplement airport parking work; staff noted further agreement items for other capital projects would be considered on the regular meeting agenda.","The county’s airport manager said the airport will apply a capital outlay grant to rebuild a 90‑space parking lot and host a Recreational Aviation Foundation conference in October; the county fire chief said the airport’s ARFF truck is being equipped and should be operational soon despite supply delays.","actionData","errors"]
