County agrees to serve as fiscal agent for Kirtland–Fruitland Cemetery capital outlay
Summary
The commission approved a request to serve as fiscal agent for state capital outlay funding for the Kirtland–Fruitland Cemetery, citing the cemetery’s historical importance and the need to replace worn equipment.
SAN JUAN COUNTY, N.M. — Commissioners voted Dec. 15 to serve as fiscal agent for capital outlay funds requested by the Kirtland–Fruitland Cemetery.
Brian Washburn described the cemetery’s history and needs, saying the site sits on about 15 acres with burial sites dating to the mid‑1800s and that equipment used for maintenance has been donated by community members and is now worn out. The county motion to approve fiscal‑agent service passed without opposition.
Commissioners indicated standard lease and insurance provisions will apply to protect county interests when acting as fiscal agent.
