Commission OKs offering county office space to New Mexico Vocational Rehabilitation for weekly outreach
Summary
Colfax County agreed in principle to make a first-floor office available to the New Mexico Division of Vocational Rehabilitation for one day per week. Commissioners directed staff to work out logistics and bring final rental terms back to the commission.
The Colfax County Commission agreed to make a county office available one day per week to the New Mexico Division of Vocational Rehabilitation to serve constituents with individualized education program (IEP) needs.
An acting county manager explained the agency requested one day per week, on Wednesdays, to meet with primarily school-aged clients who have IEPs. The manager proposed an office on the courthouse first floor next to the men's restroom and noted the clerk's stored items in that space would need to be relocated; the clerk's office and other staff discussed logistics and storage relocation options on the record.
Commissioners approved the concept and instructed staff to return with final rental pricing and logistics; the motion passed by roll call (Commissioner Kern: yes; Commissioner Trujillo: yes; Chairman Tatum: yes). The county said it would bring back final terms for formal approval once staff identified relocation needs and a rental amount.
